The cutter I used to make these cookies is plaque #23 from SugarBombe. If you’re not following SugarBombe on Instagram you are missing out! I just love her aesthetic.

I used Crystal Colors Antique Gold mixed with vodka to paint the letters and outline on these Christmas plaque cookies. Read this post to learn more about painting with gold on royal icing.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Christmas Plaque Cookies

These products can be found in my Amazon Store unless otherwise noted.

  • Cookie dough (use my recipe or my new cookie mix!)
  • Plaque 23 from SugarBombe
  • Flood consistency royal icing off-white
  • Slightly-thinned stiff consistency royal icing in brown
  • Medium consistency royal icing in brown
  • Stiff consistency royal icing in red and green
  • Decorating Bags

  • Decorating tip 1 for branches
  • Decorating tip 2 for leaves
  • Decorating tip 1.5 for outline and lettering
  • Decorating tip 16 for the flowers
  • Scribe tool
  • Wilton Color Right food coloring
    • off-white = a touch of brown + a touch of yellow
    • brown = brown + yellow
    • green = blue + yellow + brown
    • red
  • Crystal Colors Antique Gold
  • Alcohol or any flavor extract – Alcohol or flavored extracts are used for painting on royal icing because they evaporate very quickly, which means that the liquid won’t dissolve the icing as you are applying the paint.
  • Fine tip brush
  • Paint palette or small dish

Pin this project for later!
