For the Love of Pug Cookies
Today I wanted to share with you a super cute cookie idea I created using The Cookie Cutter Company cutter, using my favorite shape of all heart. You can do so many things with heart cutter, and it really should be a cookie cutter staple in every kitchen.
To clarify, I first saw this idea over at Simply Bloom and after that I was hooked. I knew I had to make a pug (I’m praying you can see a pug). My friend loves pugs and since they just got a new addition “Violet” for Christmas I thought I’d make her some cookies. I already made her Pug Cookies and a Pop Art Pug Cake in the past and I’m sure one more won’t hurt.

- Using a heart cookie cutter and a knife
construct the dog shape cookie,bake the cookies. - Ice the ear parts with light ivory icing, let
dry. - Using a clean brush and a touch of brown food
coloring paint lines onto the ears. - If needed use a food coloring pen to give you
more confidence and draw the line for the facefeatures as a guide, then flood it with dark grey icing.
Let dry. - Continue with adding more details on the
face: pipe large white dots for eye, let crust over and then add black dots and finish with little white dot. Make the nose and mouth. - Use a tiny brush and black food coloring to
paint the eye lashes. - Tip: W painting with the brush and a food
coloring on cookies, make sure the icing on the cookie is completely dry, I
also recommend having a piece of paper towel and water on hand.Dip the
tip of the brush in the food coloring and then in the water, use paper
towel to remove any excess water, you want the brush to be just very lightly
damp not wet. This way you can also control the color intensity. Be sure not to make the cookie wet.
