Woodland Themed Cookies

I had fun decorating these Woodland Themed Cookies. I used the following cookie cutters: moose, owl, squirrel and hedgehog. My mother-in-law loves hedgehogs, so I made two in her honor and named one Laurlee and the other me (Sophia). I made the cookies using the recipe from my previous post, Pumpkin Spice Autumn Cookies.

Moose Cookies

Moose, close-up

I waited about 5-6 hours for the royal icing to dry to make the eyes, nose and mouth of my moose. If you do not, it may smear so waiting is best.

Hedgehogs Laurlee and Sophia ;)

Laurlee the hedgehog

To add some character to the hedgehogs, I added two Wilton flower decorations since they are girls and like to look pretty. To make the nose and eyes, I used a black AmeriColor Gourmet Writer Food Decorating Pen.

Three Wise Owls

Owls are so intriguing and beautiful to me. These three Wise Owls are friends and the teachers of the hedgehogs, squirrels, and moose they share the woods with and are always on the lookout for predators.

Two Squirrels

These two squirrels are a couple and they are adorable. I love squirrels and we have so many on campus where I work. I have seen a squirrel eating pizza out of the garbage.

I hope you try the recipe (link above) and make some animal cookies with your loved ones. You can keep the designs simple as the ones I have here and include your children to bake and decorate with you.

Enjoy!
