Ingredients
- Sugar cookie dough
- Rolling mat
- Rolling pin
- Round cookie cutter, around 4.5 inches in diameter
- Knife
- Royal icing
- Two small bowls
- Spoons
- Food coloring
- Three Wilton or Ateco piping tips #69 or 70
- Piping bags
- Star sprinkles
- Cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Instructions
- Once you have your sugar cookie dough rolled out to the thickness of your liking, cut out as many circles as possible with the circle cookie cutter.
- Cut each circle in half and bake cookies as directed.
- Split royal icing evenly into three bowls. Dye one bowl of icing red and one bowl of icing blue. Leave the third bowl of white icing alone.
- Fit your piping bags with your piping tips and scoop your icing into the piping bags, being sure to put red in with #70 tip if possible.
- Once your cookies have cooled, you are ready to start piping. With the straight edge at the top, begin piping your first row of red ruffles by starting on the left and curving with the cookie, making sure to not pipe over the edge. Pipe all the way to the other end in one swift motion, moving up and down as you go.
- Repeat this process with a row of white on top, slightly overlapping the first row of red.
- Repeat this process slightly higher up with a row of blue. Keep repeating this process until you reach the top of the cookie.
- Use a toothpick to take off any overhanging icing from the top of the cookie if needed.
- Add star sprinkles to the different rows and let cookies sit out until the royal icing sets.
- Enjoy!
