Patriotic stars are brought to life by layering cookies and adding stitches.
Cut two sizes of star cookies, a smaller one that can fit on top of a larger one.
Cut two sizes of star cookies, a smaller one that can fit on top of a larger one.
Completely cover the smaller star with glaze (sides and all).
After the wet glaze has sat for about 5-10 min, use a spatula to carefully remove the star from the original parchment paper, and transfer to a clean piece of parchment paper.
This helps remove some of the excess glaze pooling around the cookie.
(see photos below)
Outline and flood the larger star with red or blue glaze.
After the two sizes of cookies have dried for about 1 hour,
use a cake tester and make "stitch holes" around the edges of both.
Use the matching color of glaze for each star, pipe stitches around the edges.
Allow the cookies to dry overnight.
"Glue" the small star onto the top of the large star with extra glaze.
