Halloween (Mini Tutorial)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween time was the first time I started making a bunch of cookies at once, so I wanted to share a mini tutorial on how to make a dimensional-looking pumpkin. 

First, though, I wanted to take you through a journey of some of my first Halloween themed cookies:

I've recently learned yet another cookie technique that I thought was pretty neat. I learned it from Semi Sweet Designs, but I'd like to share my condensed version:
I made Jack-O-Lanterns, but I like the idea of using this technique for other things as well.


Step One: Paint on the cookie where you want the eyes, nose, and mouth to be.

Step Two: After the first layer dries, pipe out the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Step Three: Outline the Jack-O-Lantern, and add each ridge of the pumpkin.

Step Four: Fill in every-other pumpkin ridge. After the first ridges dry, go back and fill in the others. This will give the pumpkins a dimensional look.
