I made these cookies in 2015. The Santa heads didn't get frosted and shared in time for Christmas, so I turned their jolly little heads around to create the ball dropping in NYC.
I like to look at a blank cookie and come up with another use for the design. The ball drop cookie seemed a perfect fit for New Year's Eve. Start by frosting the hat pouf and cover with silver sanding sugar.
Frost the remaining cookie with blue as the backdrop color:
Pipe black silhouetted buildings with yellow and/or blue windows. This set was made using Ziploc bags with frosting and a little corner snipped for piping. Not as neat as piped royal icing, but better to sink your teeth into! Colors of frosting: white, grey, black, yellow, light blue, royal blue, red, & white.
Tweezers are a great tool to place sprinkles on cookies for the finer detail work:
Here, the sprinkles are the crowds of people lining the streets waiting for the ball to drop:
An extra ornament cookie made the top of the ball with greater detail:
Happy New Year!
One year we'll celebrate in New York City, but this year we have big plans out on the mountain town.
