STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE COOKIES

This poster of strawberry shortcake give me the inspiration! 

I combinated two different cookie cutters. For the flum I cut the star once, for the bulberry twice.

 I made the royal icing with meringue powder:

440 gr (4 cups) powdered sugar

30gr (3 tablespoons) meringue powder

120 - 180 ml (1/2 cup - 3/4 cup) warm water

The colors I used:

 Strawberry Shortcake - 114 deep pink

Blueberry Muffin - 134 navy blue

Plum Pudding - 122 violet

First I outlined the cookies with white and let dry for an hour.

Then I flooded the green parts. I left the fruits inside for the end. After the flooding of every cookie, I made imediatelly the white dots. For the blueberry I made a star using a toothspick. Let them dry overnight.

Cherry cookies

For my cherries, I made my clasic sugar cookies recipe with butter:

750 gr of flour

250 gr of butter

250 gr of powdered sugar

4 egg

1 tsp of vanilla ore one vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

a pinch of salt

Stir the butter with the sugar vigorously until the substance is foamy. Add the egg and keep mixing while adding the rest of ingredients until the dough is ready. It should be tender, so put into the fridge for two hours.

Make your biscuits.

Bake them for 10-15 minutes at the temperature of 180°C in the pre-heated baking oven.
