HOW TO MAKE POT OF GOLD COOKIES

Step 1: Start by tracing the pot of gold cookie design onto the candy corn cookie using an edible marker. The projector template makes this super simple!

Step 2: Using black icing, outline, and flood the pot. Add shamrock sprinkles while wet. Outline the gold on top of the pot using the yellow/gold icing and outline + fill in the center part (green) of the rainbow. Let the green crust over before moving on. I like to place them under a fan and they are ready to go in just a few minutes.

Step 3: Next outline and flood the orange and blue sections, let these crust over a few minutes as well.

Step 4: Finish your rainbow with both the pink and the purple section of icing.

Step 5: By this time your pot should also be nice and crusted over. You can now add the little lip of the pot on with black outline + flood icing. Let the pot crust + rainbow over completely before moving on.

Step 6: Fish your pot of gold cookie by flooding the leftover space with yellow/gold icing. Add sugar pearls, sugar crystals whatever sprinkly gold your heart desires!

And that’s a wrap on these pot of gold cookies, what do you guys think? Ready to try some of your own?
