Decorate Cookies With Chocolate

Gradually beat into creamed mixture.

Decorate cookies with chocolate. In another bowl whisk flour cocoa baking powder and salt. Flood the chocolate chip cookie with the tan royal icing. Just pipe and flood a large area with white or light pastel colored icing let dry completely then go crazy with the color markers.

Just like you would for making royal icing cookies. For cookie decorating you ll likely use round tips that range in size from 1 the smallest opening which creates the thinnest lines to 5 a larger opening creating thicker lines. Next add eggs and vanilla.

Dip one end of each cookie into ground pistachios hazelnuts pecans or other nuts while the chocolate is still wet. Chop the chocolate into small even pieces. This will give you good control for decorating the cookie though it s not strictly necessary.

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy 5 7 minutes. Outline the cookie shape then flood it with the warm melty chocolate. Don t worry about the dots.

Of course make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Then your salt and baking powder. Try dipping one half of each cookie in dark chocolate and the other half in white.

Try any of these other techniques. A fancy way to decorate with chocolate is to partially dip a cookie one third to one half into melted baking chocolate or chocolate chips. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
