My sister-in-law asked me to make custom football theme cookies for a wedding she made the wedding cake, and desserts. I made footballs using my favorite go to chocolate sugar cookie recipe. To make the helmets and jerseys, I use my vanilla bean sugar cookie recipe with vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract, and vanilla sugar so the vanilla is prominent but not overwhelming. The vanilla speckles are very pretty as well. For the royal icing recipe, see the links above. I used Chefmaster liqua-gel food color in royal blue, buckeye brown and super red.
The key to working with royal icing when you are layering colors over each other is to let the first layer dry overnight.
