I recently completed an order for a fall wedding and was feeling very inspired by the icing color palette, so I created these personalized edible favor box cookies for fall that can be filled with treats. I think they would be really nice as place cards at a (small) Thanksgiving gathering!
The full tutorial, recipes, and templates for these fall cookies are in the Cookie Art Club.

I used my new projector to help me with piping the names on these edible favor boxes, which makes the process go much faster! I made one box for each of my kids and one for my friend Hani of Haniela's as a little surprise before our livestream last week.
All of the colors on these decorated cookies are made with natural food coloring from The Sugar Art. The design includes filigree and roses, both done using the wet-on-wet royal icing technique, requiring you to move somewhat quickly. You'll have up to 10 minutes to work with the royal icing if you are using my recipe, depending on the humidity, how much food coloring is in the icing, and the consistency of your icing.
