She set the theme for the cookies as “September”. We were inspired to bake any shape, size or color that means “September” for us. Since I am from Brasil and September is Brasil’s independence month I thought of making something that had to do with Brasil!
I used half of the recipe to cut my shapes. The other half I wrapped it in plastic wrap and frooze it for later use. I also got a little bit of the dough and flavored with lemon, coconut and chocolate cherries to see how they turn out.
I outlined the shape of the cookie with the royal icing. Then you are going to use a technique called flooding. All you need to do for this is to thin out the royal icing a little bit with water. (Drag a knife through the surface of the Royal Icing and count to 10. If the surface becomes smooth between 5 & 10 seconds, the icing is at the correct consistency.) After you get your desired consistency just fill in the outlined areas.
I love the Brasil cookies!
