Onesie Sugar Cookie Tutorial

I love frosting sugar cookies.  I shared cupcake and gift box cookies for Ms M's 3rd Birthday party, fall leaf cookies and Christmas light cookies for our Breakfast with Santa.  The frosting part is actually pretty basic and I'm always trying new recipes for the cookies but they always turn out...and everyone enjoys them.  

I was asked to make cookies for the favors at Jenn's baby shower.  I made two different shapes.  I'm using the cookies that are shaped like a baby onesie for the tutorial.  

(sorry for the strange spacing in this post...I'm not sure what was going on with it)

I baked the cookies and let them cool completely. 

 I make frosting using powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.  I never measure any of the ingredients for the frosting.  I start with it thick and add milk as I need it.  I don't usually use bags for the frosting...I prefer squeeze bottles.  The small ones are from Pampered Chef and the big one is really for candy melts.  I put the thick frosting in the smaller bottles and the thin frosting, that I will use to "fill in", in the larger bottle.

 

Using the thicker bottle I make an outline of the entire cookie (or just the part that you want to have in the color you are working with).  As soon as I have the outside line I use the thin frosting to fill in the area completely. 

 I wanted to add a second layer to these cookies so I let the first frosting color dry.  This took a few hours and then I added a pink outline layer using the thick frosting. 

 Once the second frosting color was dry I put each cookie in a bag and attached a cute ribbon to keep the bag closed.

The cookies looked cute on display at the party and they tasted yummy too.
