Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Arrange cooled cookies on a tray and organize decorating supplies.
- Tint icing with school colors and transfer to piping bags.
- Outline cookies neatly and allow the borders to set.
- Flood centers with thinner icing until surfaces appear smooth and even.
- Add graduation-themed decorations and sprinkles while icing remains slightly wet.
- Let cookies dry completely before packaging, displaying, or serving.
Notes
For softer cookies, store them in airtight containers soon after cooling. For crispier cookies, allow extra drying time before storage. Freeze undecorated cookies for up to 2 months and thaw before decorating. Handle decorated cookies gently during assembly. Customize flavors with vanilla, almond, lemon, or butter extracts. Store finished cookies in airtight containers for up to 1 week.
