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!
