Here’s what I used to create these Hatchimals Cookies:
- Roll-out cookie dough (use your favorite recipe or get mine in the tutorial shop)

- Edible ink marker to draw the faces and sections before icing
- Flood consistency royal icing
- Small decorating bags
- Decorating tip 1
- Decorating tip 2
- Decorating tip 3
- Bag ties
- Scribe tool
- Gel paste colors: Blue, Pink, and Yellow from the Wilton Color Right Set
- Food grade charcoal powder for black icing color
- Alcohol or liquid extract for painting (why? Read this post on painting on royal icing)
- Brushes
- Palette or small dishes for mixing edible paint

Instructions
- Cut the cookies from a chilled sheet of cookie dough. Bake and cool the cookies according to the recipe.
- Use the egg template and an edible ink marker to trace the area where the faces will be showing through the cracked portion
- Ice the cracked portion with dark gray flood consistency royal icing and a tip 1.
- Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Allow the icing to dry for about an hour.
- Ice the egg with white flood consistency royal icing and a tip 3. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Allow the icing to dry completely (overnight is best).
- Use the template and the scribe tool to trace the eyes and beaks inside the cracked area in the egg.
- Apply a little bit of white flood consistency icing around the eyes and brush it with a thin decorator brush to create a glowing effect.
- Fill in the eyes with white flood consistency icing and a tip 2. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Fill in the beaks with yellow flood consistency icing and a tip 2. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Add pupils with black flood consistency icing and a tip 1. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Add reflections in the eyes with the white icing.
- Add mouths with pink flood consistency icing and a tip 1.
- Use the same pink icing to pipe dots on the egg shell.
- Pipe more dots with the yellow icing.
- Pipe stripes and a pom pom on the party hat with the pink and yellow icing. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Paint shadows in the faces with the food grade charcoal mixed with alcohol with a thin brush.
- To make the Hatchimals cookies, begin by icing the wings with yellow flood consistency icing and a tip 2. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Fill in the head and body with white flood consistency royal icing and a tip 3. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Allow the icing to dry completely (overnight is best).

- Pipe designs on the wings with pink and purple icing. Use the scribe tool to help make very tiny dots by dabbing the scribe tool into a dish of the icing and then touching it to the wing.
- Add more color to the fur with the edible paint mixture, if necessary.
- Pipe a light pink collar and use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
- Pipe black pupils and pipe white reflections in the eyes.
- Pipe the mouth and nostrils on the beak with the black icing and use the scribe tool to drag the icing to create fine details.
