This week it was Daughter's turn to bring snacks to choir. Since St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I made Shamrock cookies and musical note cookies.
I baked on Saturday evening and frosted on Sunday evening. We ended up with 41 Shamrocks and 37 Musical notes! Yea!
As always, I used the Wilton Royal Icing recipe. You can find it HERE. And this time I only mixed the frosting mixture for 7 minutes with my electric hand mixer. I should have done 10. But the frosting still turned out pretty good. I achieved the darker green dots by adding them while the flood frosting was still very wet. Just a dot of frosting will do, as it spreads a little bit when dropped onto the flood frosting. The dark green frosting was also quite thin...about the same consistency as the flood frosting. If I had three hands, I could have taken pictures! Ha!

I was a tired cookie maker by the end of the day.
That's all for now. Until another time, have a happy day!
