Waaaaaah! (Well, I didn't really cry, I wasn't too invested in the project anyways.) Did you know that you can "glue" broken cookies back together? That's what I decided to try doing and it worked! I made up some Sugar Cookie Icing and applied it to the broken edge, pressed the broken piece on, then placed it on a piece of waxed paper. I let it dry for a while, then iced the top, which also helped hold the pieces together. I'm sure the cookies aren't that sturdy, and the first person to bite into one will have it crumble in their hand. But they look great, and in sugar cookie world, looks are all that matter. Here's a photo of my misfit cookies "healing":
Despite my grumbling, I did end up having fun decorating the cookies. I kept my color palette simple, just blue and white, so that cut down on dirty dishes and utensils. The first step is to appy your base icing layer. I did half the cookies in blue and half in white. After you apply the base, you have to let them "dry" for at least a few hours, or even overnight.


My husband walked by as I was decorating and said, "Those look really pretty, but not too pretty to eat. Heh, heh , heh." I guess that's a compliment?
I never get to the part of doing the beautiful intricate decorating of the snowflakes. Your cookies look good and excellent idea with the sugar cookie icing as glue!
