Celebrating Fall Decorated Cookie Collection

Is it obvious that I can't get enough of fall cookies? I just went back and counted that this is my FOURTH fall cookie collection this year. haha

Some of you may be happy to know that this is my last one for the year (other than Thanksgiving-related cookies). This year I had so many techniques and textures I wanted to try out on all my favorite autumn shapes. This collection was no exception. I just acquired a bunch of new cookie cutters (as if I needed to buy more!) and I couldn't wait to try them all out.

So in case this is your first sighting of fall cookies from me this year......

Happy Fall! 🍁🌰🍂🍯🌻

So Blessed Thanksgiving Decorated Cookie Collection

Recognizing our blessings......it's what Thanksgiving is all about.
I am truly blessed.....and today, I'm counting my blessings.

Psalm 146:2-6 sums it up well:

I will praise the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Do not put your trust in princes,
    in human beings, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful forever.
I hope this special holiday season affords you time to reflect and dwell on the things for which you are most thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Rustic Thanksgiving Pumpkin Decorated Cookies

I can never decorate too many pumpkin cookies during this season.
I love dreaming up as many designs and textures on cookies as possible.
This year was no exception.


We're getting our Thanksgiving "on" in a rustic pumpkin-kind-of-way.

 

Check out this Textured Pumpkin Decorated Cookie Tutorial for one of the techniques shown in some of the pumpkins above.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with lots of pumpkins!

Autumn Leaf Thanksgiving Turkey Decorated Cookie Collection

Making a platter of cookies look like a turkey for Thanksgiving is nothing new. But the twist on this set is to use the feather shapes to make autumn leaves.

Any way you construct it, the results will be charming.

Gobble gobble......

May your Thanksgiving dessert table be adorned with a cute turkey cookie platter.....

 

Indian Corn Decorated Cookie (Tutorial)

For some reason, Indian corn cookies have been hard to emulate in the past.
Either they were way too detailed and time consuming, or
they didn't appear the way I wanted them to.
Now with fondant embossers, I found a design that I really like....
and it's not too time-consuming.

 

Believe it or not, I used a tall Easter egg cutter for this design.
But a longer oval will work just fine.

Outline and flood the entire shape in gold glaze.
Allow the icing to dry for at least 3 hours, and then use either one of these embossers to imprint "kernel" marks into the glaze.

There are other brick texture mats that also might work to make these impressions.

Using orange and brown glaze, outline and flood a few random kernel impressions
throughout the cookie.
(see photo below)

Dry overnight.

Dust dry chocolate luster dust over the kernels to give it a shaded and rustic look.
