Football Cookies

Everyday Party Magazine Football Kick Off Party

Football Cookies

Everyday Party Magazine College Football Cookies Football Week 2015Football Cookies.  It’s officially college football season, and my guys are all pretty happy about it!  We kicked off the season (see what I did there) with a fun football party all about our favorite college football boys, the Georgia Bulldogs!  

As a party girl, I know how an amazing cookie can really add to a party.  I also know how you  need to be a gifted artist to make amazing cookies.  But, I am not one to back down to a challenge, and I decided to try to make some cookies for this little party.

Good Housekeeping TV offers a variety of classes, free shorts, and inexpensive longer ones.  I watched the free short Beginner’s Cookie Decorating 101 by Patty Paige and gathered self confidence.  I thought, I can do this!  I am artistic! So, I went for it, I took the full class…I watched the 70 minute video, and thought, hmmm, I hope I can still do this.  I waited a day or two, and I watched a few more minutes, and downloaded the notes that came with the class.  Then, I did it.   

I used store bought cookie dough, and rolled it out, and cut my shapes (from Michael’s).  Then I made my royal icing.  It was easy, so much easier than I thought it would be!

Then, I separated and colored it.  

Next, I outlined my shapes, I could use more practice with that…but I was happy.

Then I flooded the cookies and I was very happy!

Once the icing dried, I added laces…and heard “Laces out Dan!” over and over in my head. 

A few days later, I made the jerseys.  My outlining was much better, the flooding looked great. But I used white icing that wasn’t as fresh as I thought and my numbers looked a little sad.  That was all my fault.  Thankfully, they were still yummy, and our family didn’t care that they weren’t perfect.

I decided to get “fancy”‘ with my football cookies and put them in a bed of grass frosting on large round sugar cookies.  I loved the way they turned out, even if they weren’t perfect.

I will say, I plan on leaving a lot of the cookie art to the pros, but in  a pinch, I am confident that I can do these again, and I am actually looking forward to it!  I am really glad I took the class, and I think I will take a few more.  Patti even has a few more cookie tutorials.   They are easy to follow along, and you can replay them as you wish.  There is a printable how to, and even downloads and discussions available.  It’s absolutely worth the money! 

Be sure to check back all this week for more from our Football Party, including a free printable!
