The palette knife painting technique has been showing up on lots of cakes and cookies recently and I was inspired to give it a try.
To give the cookies a more rustic look, I spread a thin layer of white icing and used my spatula to add texture before I created the flowers.
I think the style is giving 2014 wedding but that’s around the time I got married so this rustic look will always hold a special place in my heart – burlap, mason jars, and all!
Here’s what you’ll need to make these palette knife painting cookies
These supplies are available in my Amazon store unless otherwise noted
- Chilled sheet of cookie dough (I used my confetti cut-out cookie recipe with Lucky Charms marshmallows in place of the sprinkles – the recipe is available to Cookie Art Club members!)
- 5” wedding cake cookie cutter
- 2-½” round cookie cutter
- Royal icing
- Rose Pink and Leaf Green food coloring (I used Chefmaster brand food coloring)
- Scribe tool
- Tapered offset spatula
- 12” Decorating bag
- Decorating tip 2
- Couplers & Bag ties (I used Wilton brand)
When you’re first making your flowers, you might feel discouraged because it’s looking a bit messy (speaking from experience), but once you take a step back you’ll see that this technique creates a beautiful set of cookies.
