Old School Cookie Collection





What is it about back-to-school theme that is so very very fun?

I remember when I would go to purchase all the supplies for my kids
before we started back to homeschool each year.
It's that same kind of giddy feeling.
It must have to do with a "new beginning"......all fresh and clean.

This year seemed like a good time to take on a more vintage feel for the back-to-school cookies.
And that is how the Old School Cookie Collection was born.

Here's to an awesome year of learning!

Lunch Box Cookies (Tutorial)






A lunch box has been on my "cookie bucket list" for a couple of years.
When I saw a photo of a classic front view lunchbox, I knew it was time to attempt it.


You'll need a wide rectangle cookie for this project.

Outline and flood the cookie with the color of your choice.
If desired, add a pattern while it is still wet.


After it has dried for at least 30 minutes, add a gray line across the top to represent the lid.


Dry for another 30 minutes or so, and then add the outer latch and the handle attachments.
(see photo below)


Once the latch has dried for about 30 minutes,
add first the bottom part of the inner latch, and then the top part of the inner latch,
with dry time in between.


Roll out some white edible clay and freeze it for about 1 hour.

Cut out a long rectangular handle for the lunch box.
Using the end of a scribe, imprint the handle with small tick marks as shown below.


Allow the cookie and handle to dry overnight separately.

Make a mixture of silver pearl dust and vodka (or almond extract).
Paint the latch and handle attachments on the lunchbox.


Brush the bottom side of the edible clay handle with corn syrup ("glue")
before laying it atop the handle attachments on the lunch box cookie.

Add some gray brackets around the handle as shown below to make it appear to be attached.



A cute addition to the Old School Cookie Collection. :)

Clock Cookies (Tutorial)






When I think back to the clocks we had in school (a LONG time ago!),
the above image is what comes to mind.

In my attempt to bring back "the good 'ole days", it seemed appropriate to make a clock cookie.


You'll need a medium-large circle cookie for this project.

Outline and flood the cookie with white glaze.

Using two nesting circle cutters, and a yellow food color marker,
Draw the guidelines you need to make the outer black edge of the clock.
(see photos below)





Allow the cookie to dry overnight.

Using some type of projection tool (this photo shows a Kopy Kake 1000),
make the minute marks, numbers, and center on the clock with a black food color marker.


Add the shorter hour and longer minute hands (black) and the second hand (very thin long red).



Another bit of nostalgia......found in a simple clock face.

Winter Silhouette Cookies (Tutorial)





I love the simplicity of silhouettes....especially on cookies!
All you have to do is get the outline over a plain or patterned background......
and you have a lovely design.

The first step is to look for silhouettes all around.....
whether tangle photos/clipart you have laying around or pictures found on the internet.

Once you've decided what shapes you want to put on the cookie.....
print them out to about the size wanted on the cookie surface.

Outline and flood the cookies.
Both a plain one-color background or a patterned background will look good.
You can make it as simple or complex as you wish.

Once the background has dried a bit,
you need to outline and flood the silhouette.
A Kopy Kake helps immensely.....but it is definitely not an essential.
I don't use mine often, but in this case, it came it super handy.
(For a brief overview of how a KK works, check out this post.)


If you don't own one......
just cut out the shape and trace around it directly onto the cookie using a food color marker. 
Outline and flood from there.


 The simplicity really makes for a beautiful cookie.
