Christmas Cookies with Wet on Wet Piping

Between cooking and baking since Monday for yesterday’s Thanksgiving, and Black Friday shopping it is nice

to know you can design an elegant Christmas cookie in 9 minutes.

Wet on wet piping is using the same royal icing consistency throughout the design (with the exception of the border).

The break down to the cookies above:

3.5 minutes to outline, cover, and decorate. Once the wet on wet method is finished allow the sugar cookie to dry for about 2 hours,

pipe a snails trail border, and let the cookie completely dry. The results are not only beautiful, but simple.

Once you have an understanding of the concept almost any design is possible.
