Basketball Cookies Decorated With An Airbrush
March Madness is upon us and I felt inspired to make something I’ve never made before – basketball cookies!
I’ve only used my airbrush a handful of times, but I had so much fun with it on these basketball cookies that I think I’ll break it out more often! I used the airbrush to blend and add depth on the royal icing.

I used an airbrush from TruColor LLC, which is my favorite of the two that I own. My other one is a less expensive version from Amazon. The supply list is below and the full tutorial is in my Cookie Art Club!
