How To Decorate Chalkboard Cookies With Royal Icing!

Chalkboard Cookies!

Of course chalkboard cookies are great for back-to-school treats, but my brain has become wedding soup and I can’t think of anything else (3 weeks to go!), so I used the chalkboard icing technique to make these wedding plaque cookies.

The plaque cookie cutter that I used for this project is from Ann Clark Cookie Cutters

The idea for these chalkboard cookies came to me after I purchased this beauty from Michaels. I bought it to use at my wedding, but until then it’s just hanging out in my craft room!

Here’s what you’ll need to make these chalkboard cookies:

Colors:

Begin by icing a plaque-shaped cookie with black flood consistency royal icing and a tip 3. Allow the icing to dry completely. I let mine dry overnight. chalkboard-cookies4

Dust the surface with cornstarch to give the icing a chalky look.chalkboard-cookies5

Fill a “tipless” piping bag with flood consistency icing and cut a very small opening. Pipe your design one section at a time (if you pipe the entire design at once, the icing will dry before you get to the next step). I used a tipless bag here because I needed a very small amount of icing. I prefer to use these smaller, thinner bags rather than using a 12″ bag for things like this. chalkboard-cookies6

Use a fine tip brush to flatten the icing and remove some of the excess to make it look like the design was drawn with chalk.

You can see how I piped this monogram in the video in my Cookie Art Club. Add roses by piping swirls with pink stiff consistency icing and a tip 3. chalkboard-cookies8

Add leaves with green stiff consistency icing and a tip 2. chalkboard-cookies9
