Delicious Cafe Decorated Cookie Collection

I’ve always had a love for hot drinks……coffee (specialty with lots of sweetness), tea, hot chocolate, etc), so it stands to reason that I would think of hot (and cold) drinks and yummy baked goods for a “DELICIOUS” themed cookie collection.

My son’s girlfriend is Taiwanese and she has turned me on to bubble tea. I think I love it so much because I love her so much…..and I know she gets super excited when she gets a treat originating from her homeland. :) When I showed her these cookies….she was super happy. She said, “Now I can drink AND eat bubble tea!” ❤️

Most of the things shown in this set I’m not supposed to consume….. since I’m on a plant based, gluten free, sugar free diet to fight cancer. That includes sugar cookies, in general! But it was fun to emulate all these yummy treats and think about how glorious they all taste.

God is good to allow us so many wonderful things to enjoy via our taste buds. 🙌🏻

Delicious [ dih-lish-uhs ] adjective
highly pleasing to the senses, especially to taste or smell, delightful

Coffee Shop Decorated Cookie Collection

For all the coffee lovers in my life......I created a set of cookies to celebrate this glorious hot drink and it's favorite companions. :)

 

Neon Sign Styled Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

Have you ever found a graphic or photo that emulate a style that you became giddy about?
In the last year, I found a graphic showing this neon sign style (I think they called it "colored chalk style") that I instantly knew I had to cookie-fy. 

This method is super easy and fast since you don't have to actually outline and flood the entire cookie and then add additional layers of icing.

Start with chocolate cut-out dough, and cut and bake any shape that will be recognizable by just adding a few outlines/silhouette. 
In the set shown, the theme was coffee related, so I picked the shapes accordingly.

Once the cookies are baked and cooled, combine vodka (or a clear extract, ex. almond) and Americolor Super Black gel to make a "paint" to cover the tops of each cookie. Brush the opaque mixture over each cookie and allow it to dry for a few hours before adding the glaze.

Use bright "electric" colors of glaze to add the outlines and single detail lines to each cookie.
