Argyle Neck Tie Cookies
I don’t own a kopykake so creating certain designs on cookies can be a pain. Today I wanted to share with you a really simple technique of creating a piping guide directly on a cookie, using a piece of paper/plastic and a food pen.
A perfect example is argyle design, one would think you can just pipe those perfectly even diamond shapes by hand, well maybe you can but I can’t so I made a little template to help me along.
To make these cookies you need:
- Bake the
cookies. - Using a
simple plastic or a paper template and a food pen, draw a piping guide directly onto
the cookie. - Starting
with white icing(using 10 second icing), fill the diamond shaped areas, following the argyle design pattern, and the piping guide. - Fill in
the white areas, let dry. - Fill in
the red(using 10 second icing) areas, let dry. If needed use a toothpick or a pin to push the icing
into the hard to reach corners. Let dry. - Using a
grey or black icing pipe the clean lines across to finished the argyle pattern. - Pipe the
red outline and let dry.
