Carrot Sugar Cookies

Mar 27 2015 Liz Call

Last week was my kids spring break.  Since the beginning of spring break, I feel like I’m still trying to catch up .  We didn’t go any place for a vacation but we did do a couple fun things around town.   The kids kept me busy for sure.

One of the things I thought would be fun to do is to make sugar cookies.  Since Easter is coming up I found this carrot cookie cutter and we made carrot sugar cookies.

Cute! Carrot sugar cookies. Great Easter dessert.

I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe.  This recipe has never failed me.  Usually when I make sugar cookies I decorate them with royal icing.  This time however, I decided I wanted to try something new.

In January I went to a blog conference here in Phoenix called Bash.  It was so much fun!  It’s a conference geared toward party and event planners, but I learned a lot while I was there.  They had a hands on class from the fabulous Jenny Keller of Jenny Cookies.  She taught a cookie decorating class and shared with us her buttercream frosting recipe and tips for frosting.

I made up a batch of her buttercream frosting and tinted part of it orange and part of it green.  I filled my pastry bags and fitted the orange frosting with a Wilton decorating tip #21 and the green frosting with a Wilton decorating tip #18.  I found that when using buttercream, I like a little big larger size decorating tips.  But that is my preference.  I did half a batch one day and the other half the next day.  I put my pastry bags into a ziploc baggie overnight so they wouldn’t dry out the frosting.

These carrot sugar cookies turned out so cute and were a hit with the kids.  And our neighbors and friends that we shared them with.

We tied a couple up in cute packages and attached Easter gift tags to deliver them.

I’m thinking I’m going to need to make up another batch to take to our Easter dinner!

I loved the carrots so much, I might need to try some other Easter shapes!

Are you planning a big Easter dinner?  What delectable desserts will be on your table?
