To make simple shell cookies you'll need:
- Scalloped heart cookie cutter
- Sugar cookie dough
- Sharp knife
- Ivory 10-second glaze
- Cake tester
- Americolor gels (your choice colors)
- Almond extract
- Paint brush
- Americolor Pearl Sheen airbrush color
Cut out a scalloped heart and then trim it
into small shell shaped cookies.
Outline and flood the shells with ivory glaze.
After they have dried for 30 min to 1 hr, add some
fanned vertical indentations using a cake tester.
Allow the cookies to dry overnight.
Mix some gel color with almond extract.
Brush onto shells in a layered look.
Allow them to dry for at least an hour (or the color will run),
and then airbrush on some pearl sheen airbrush color.
Since my airbrush broke, I just painted it on.
