Painted Cookies
and
Lavender Lemonade
4th Thursday - Cooking:
This is one ofthe most fun things to do.
Paint sugarcookies.
Long before Ibegan blogging, I followed several blogs.
One of theseblogs was Once Upon a Plate. If you
are not familiarwith Mari’s blog – you’re definitely
in for a treat! Sheis a talented cook and photographer.
I first discovered painted sugar cookies on her blog.
I have beenlooking for an opportunity to paint cookies – spring seems a good reason asany.
To paint the cookies I used this sugar cookie recipe.
I allowed them to completely cool, then I applied a coating of Royal icing also allowing it to completely dry.
I used Wilton gel food coloring to paint the cookies.
You can add water and adjust the amount to give you lighter and darker colors.
I also used AmeriColor Gourmet Write edible pens.
I plan to takethese with me to Bible study tonight
to go along withour coffee.
For you, I createdthis light-hearted tablescape and
prepared a pitcherof Lavender Lemonade –
This is such alight, refreshing drink – you’ll love it!
Several yearsback, my husband and I were sponsors
Chaperoning childrento a summer Christian camp.
I painted thisbirdhouse in the craft room that week and I thought it would add a cheerybalance to the
birdcage.
I chosepastel colored dishes, my Pink Lemonade tablecloth to act as backdrop to the
painted cookies.
There’s a placejust for you and one for me!
I hope you enjoythe painted cookies and
the Lavender lemonade –
Royal Icing:
1 cup powdered (confectioner's) sugar
1 egg white (or powdered egg whites)
3-4 drops lemon juice
food coloring
To make the icing:
Mix the sugar, egg white and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, it should have the consistency of heavy cream.
