Here, have a look:
He's not a cookie ornament, he's made of paper. Heavy-duty, grocery store issue, brown paper bags, to be specific.
And the icing? It's royal icing - with some white glue added.
Looks tasty, doesn't he?
I also made these:
I love these. My mother-in-law had these plastic cookie molds, the boy and the girl, and I just think they're sweet. So I made them into papery ornaments as well.
But don't worry – I'm also baking the edible kind of cookies, too. My kitchen smells like cinnamon and cloves as I type!
I hope you are putting cinnamon and cloves into those kids! Lovely!
these are cute! i love the brown paper.
You know, I did put in both spices, and they smelled great for a time, but as of now, the scent has faded completely. Maybe I’ll up the dose with the next batch and see if it lingers longer.
Those look really neat! I like the idea of making them smell like cookies, too. =)
Those are adorable! I wonder if you could coat the back in wax from a cinnamon scented candle to make the small last a little bit longer?
Jen – that’s an idea worth trying. If I get a chance to try it out, I’ll let you (and everyone else) know how it goes.
Thanks!
I also wonder if an essential oil would work??
