I hope you had a great weekend too with friends and family.
I have to say that I had so much fun making these cookies for a birthday party in Kansas, although, I wish I had a Kopykake projector for the cookies, it would had been easier to decorate . I'm pretty much use to make Elmo since that is a very popular theme for children's parties, but Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch were totally new to me. This is my first time making then, and I don't think they came out that bad.
Big Bird Cookies
Elmo Cookies
I am not a cookie expert by any means, but here is a little tutorial of the making of Oscar the Grouch
I didn't have an Oscar cookie cutter, so I improvised with an extra flower cutter that I had. You can also make your own template using cardstock or a big plastic lid from a container
I found these pictures online of Big Bird and Oscar. I printed them out as reference and "templates" for my cookies.
For flooding my cookies I don't like the icing too runny. If you have any questions regarding icing consistency,I would recommend you to visit Marian from Sweetopia, she has a fabulous tutorial and post about How to figure out the right royal icing consistency.
To make Oscar's tongue I used very thin red fondant instead of piping and flooding it with red royal icing. I used a very small heart shape cutter and attached the "tongue" with dab of piping gel.
And here is the cookie!

Thanks for the tutorial! Your Oscars turned out beautifully!
You did an awesome job on those cookies! They are adorable. And did I hear you right? You work AND do all of this with a child?? WOW. I always feel sorry for myself because I have to work, but now you will be my inspiration to fit it all in. LOL :-D
Wow - amazing! You are so talented with cake, cookies and anything baking! Thanks for taking the time to put together a tutorial for your readers! Hope you are feeling good!
I love these cookies and I want to make them for my grandson. You did a wonderful job! What recipe did you use for the royal icing?
Oh yeah I totally want a Kopykake as well, but yours look great just the way they are.
You don't NEED a kopy kake! The cutter reshaping is genius!!! Love Oscar! This is how I stumbled upon you...I have oscar to make and I was a looking for a cutter!! I feel WAY better now, and I am totally reshaping my cutter.
