Instructions

• From a chilled sheet of cookie dough using the plaque cookie cutter as a guide, cut around the plaque with the paring knife to make the cookie ½” larger than the plaque all around. Bake and cool the cookies according to the recipe instructions.
• Ice the top portion of the cookie with blue 15-second count consistency icing and a decorating tip 2. Use the scribe tool or toothpick to evenly distribute the icing.
• Immediately fill in the lower portion of the cookie with light green flood consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 2 and use the scribe tool or toothpick to evenly distribute the icing. Allow the icing to dry about 6 hours.
• Mix green food coloring with a few drops of vodka or any flavor extract to dilute. Apply the edible paint with a decorator brush.
• Pipe tree trunks with brown soft peak icing and a tip 1. Pipe pine trees with dark green 15-second count icing and use the scribe tool or toothpick to help shape the icing.
• Use the brown soft peak icing and a tip 1 to pipe a tree trunk and branches.
• Pipe a fence with light brown soft peak icing and a tip 1.
• Use the white soft peak icing and a tip 1 to pipe the cows and use the scribe tool or toothpick to help shape the icing.
• Pipe a tractor and a cardinal in the tree with red 15-second count royal icing and a tip 1. Allow the icing to dry 30-60 minutes.
• Pipe the first layer of a string of lights around the fence (the lights will be added later) with black 15-second count icing and a tip 1. Use the same icing to add tires to the tractor. Add treads to the tires with the scribe tool or toothpick.
• Pipe a wreath hanging on the fence with dark green 15-second count icing and a tip 1. Use the scribe tool or toothpick to help shape the icing.
• Add spots to the cows by dipping the scribe tool or toothpick into black 15-second count icing and applying it to the dry white icing.
