CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

Fourth of July has come and gone.

Not much celebrating here as I had to work and the family was scattered.

I hope your weekend proved to be full of fun and memories. :)

This week I tried out a few new texture products with success.

I'm anxious to share all the details in upcoming blog posts.

I'm continuing to work on autumn cookies this next week.....

preparing some tutorials and pulling together blog posts.

With all the new things I've learned in the last year, it is cool to put them to use within the fall theme.

I guess you'd call it the lazy days of summer. ;)

♥♥♥

Instagram photos for this week:

Happy Friday!

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Sunday!

Summer fun.....although I'm not sure you can tell what it is in this photo. : / #hopscotch

Lookin' back at the Splash into Summer cookies from last year. :)

Antiqued Text Cookies (Tutorial)

Here's a fairly simple technique to making a cookie look like parchment paper......
which is perfect for a patriotic-themed set of cookies.

Any cookie shape will work fine.

Outline and flood the cookie with an ivory-colored glaze.

Dry overnight.

Using a food color marker, write text on the cookie.

If you need help keeping the text straight and evenly spaced,

place a piece of notebook paper underneath the cookie for a guide while you write.

Allow the "ink" to dry.

To "antique-ify" the cookie, brush on dry pearl dust.

For these cookies, I used bronze and gold colors.
