Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark Super Cookies!

I used the Club House droplet food dyes, but it took like half a bottle of the dye to make it that red. The second batch of red was much more pink, but I have a bulb out in my kitchen (also can't reach; be 5 foot eff all is a pain). I wasn't sure how to measure what 3 ounces of egg white was so I just assumed an egg was about an ounce and with the yolk removed I should use four egg whites, so it was exceptionally runny. I just use 3oz of egg whites, 4 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla.

I'm not very domestic AT ALL. I'm Italian though, so cooking is basically programmed into my brain at an early age. I don't really like cooking because it's usually for 10 people minimum, but I've discovered a love of baking. My thing is more so for the design element rather than the cooking part. My sister makes the most amazing cakes though, so I'm sort of inspired by how much fun she has with that. This is a carousel that she made for my niece's 5th birthday. It's on a lazy susan so it actually rotates.



I'm def. going to have to try your icing recipe though! Mine did harden eventually, but it not fast enough, as you can probably see from all of the red drops on my counter.

I never even thought of that! I was just using a plastic sandwich bag with a very tiny hole in it. I would LOVE to see your cookie recipe! I used just a random shortbread one that I found online. (Same one I used around Christmas time to make trees for my class. My icing turned out much better that time though.)

Haha, aww! I wonder if you scored the shape into the cookie before baking them if it would make a difference? You'd have to make pretty thick cookies though, I suppose?
