HOW TO MAKE PAINT PALETTE COOKIES
TOOLS
- paint palette cutter
- icing bottles/piping bags
- #2 tips
- wood grain cookie stencil
- stencil snap
- icing scribe
- airbrush
- fan
Note: I made my own paint palette cutter with my Silhouette Alta, however, there are lots of paint palette cutters you can purchase. I found a very similar one from Whisked away cutters here, where I purchased the paint brush from!
SUPPLIES
- light brown outline + flood icing OR 20-second icing
- colored 20-second icing for your paints
- brown airbrush color
Step 1: When cutting out your paint palette cookies, use a small cutter to add a hole for the palette, some cutters may have this hold included. As I said above, I 3D printed my own cutter so I left off the hole so the cutter could become other things later on.
Step 2: Use light brown outline + flood icing (or 20-second icing) to outline and flood the entire cookie. I chose to use two consistencies so I knew I wouldn’t have any issue with the little hole in the cookie. The thick outline icing gave me insurance the icing would stay put!
Step 3: Now the fun part! Once your brown layer has crusted over, grab your airbrush and a wood stencil and give those paint palette cookies a wood look. I used warm brown airbrush color my AmeriColor. If you don’t have an airbrush yet a brown edible marker will work just as well.
Step 4: Next add little “splats of paint”. Because I am obsessed with using my projector + templates, I used the template to help line up and shape my little paint
