Super simple cookies made for a 'Game Night' at my kids' school. Three colors of icing, if you count the white. Can't beat that!
What You Need:
Roll-Out Cookie Dough
(I used both my Chocolate Sugar Cookie & Vanilla Sugar Cookie Recipes)
Royal Icing
Red & Black Food Coloring
Ruler & Knife (or pastry wheel)
The playing cards, I made true playing card dimension, 2.5" x 3.5". And I made the dominoes the same width, 2.5", but cut them at about .75" tall.
*Note: You probably want to bake the big and small cookies on separate baking sheets. The dominoes may take about 8-10 minutes, where the cards take about 10-12 minutes.
Decorating the cookies is simple, outline and flood with white icing. (See my tutorial on icing consistencies here.)
I used a Tip #2 for the dominoes, and for the letters on the cards. I used Tip #12 for the Heart, Spade, Club, and Diamond on the playing cards.
They were a big hit, and really easy to do.
