FLOUR FLOWERS…CLICKETY CLICK!!
COLOURING MY WORLD…ICED SUGAR COOKIES
Hearts piled high…
The basic sugar cookie recipe is the same one that I use for ‘Smartie Cookies’. It’s a very versatile one, and works well with this recipe. For the icing, I use powdered sugar mixed with just enough water to make it thick & flowing, then colour according to requirement, and drizzle it on the cookies. I leave them to dry out overnight in trays in the oven, and sometimes give them a minute in a hot oven to get rid of any moisture (depends on the weather actually). Though a bit fiddly to ice, practice makes them better each time.
I had so much fun doing these…

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

You a have developed good mastery over cookies and coupled with your creativity,the cookies must have been happy with your singing while making them. And yes, chocolate pistachio cake as asleep-over for kids is a very good idea.
Cheers to you.

Hi Deeba, I came across your blog last mth when I was searching for marzipan…These cookis look really yum..You have a very nice & easy way to decorate your cookies / cakes..
I always see some silver bead like things on the flowers or cookies?..Can u please tell me what are those?..And when do u fix them on the cookies..I mean do they need to be put on the cookie before baking…please clarify..
Thanks,
Deepa

Hi Deepa,the silver mimosa balls or dragees are fixed on the basic cookie before baking. If you want them on the icing, then its after baking them. If you take a close look, some are fixed on the cookie, while others are on the icing. Hope I make sense!
