Marbled Cookies for Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I made marbled leaf cookies and they turned out super cute.

This is an easy process, even for a novice decorator.  I used the same process from these Valentine's Day cookies I made last year:

A lot of cookie decorating is harder than it looks, but this is one process that is actually as easy as it looks.  The only note of caution is to make sure that the gel food coloring is really well distributed in the icing.  Otherwise, the food coloring will attach to the cookie in a big glob and won't fully dry.  Here's a closer peek at my cookies:

I used a new-to-me sugar cookie recipe and I really like it. (The cookies are delicious, even without any icing.)

Hope you have a great day filled with lots of delicious food.  We are staying in our Covid bubble and having a small feast with just me, Steve, the baby, and my Mom.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • So beautiful! Have you ever tried this with buttercream frosting? I’m not a fan of royal icing but would love to try this on my son’s favorite eggnog cookies.

  • Love the colors and shapes so would you please create this design on a snow people and snowflake cookies for Faux Snow Event or Avalanche Days in January. I mean the colors of winter blues, along with most people thinking trips to some place warmer would let some be a bit tropical in colors and flavors. One could even team it up with Rice marshmallow cereal treat bars. Who wouldn’t be happier with bold fresh cookies looking so festive?
