I made some tiny sugar cookie sugar cookies for you.

Tee-niny!

Yes, I love little and I kinda like to play with my food… But I’m sure you know that about me by now.

And you probably know that I made more than just baby cookies.

They’re cute on their own, but I really needed them to put on display.

Cookie Stands

On these 3-tier sugar cookie dessert stands I made.

EEek! Cookies on cookies. Key-ute.

Making Sugar Cookies

I love sugar cookies since they require a few basic ingredients that I almost always have on hand.

They can be baked in no time – especially with the recipe I’ve been using from my friend Bridget at Bake at 350. It’s been my go-to recipe lately. I love hers because nothing has to be set out to room temperature. And her dough doesn’t need to be chilled before rolling either. Equals Awesome! I hate waiting. So I love this recipe. When the dough comes together it will be crumbly, but don’t worry. Just grab it and knead it a bit and it’s ready to roll and cut. And it lifts beautifully, too.

Here’s Bridget’s recipe for sugar cookies and royal icing on some peppermint cookies I made a few weeks ago. And here is the recipe on her site.

But even better, Bridget has a Cookie Decorating book out. And I’m giving one away at the end of this post. YAY!

Decorating Cookies

Actually, I’m giving away a signed copy of her book, Decorating Cookies. Easy to understand instructions with tons of adorable cookie decorating ideas. You’ll love it.

Skip on down to the bottom if you want to enter. Wheee!

Or if you want to see how I made my cookies stand, then keep on reading. These aren’t in Bridget’s book… I was just inspired by her cookie creations and love for decorating and wanted to share it with you since I love using her recipe.

Hope you like them Bridget! P.S. I need a piping boot camp. I don’t know how you do it.

Rolling Pin

Roll your cookie dough out nice and flat. I used these rubber dough bands to make sure the thickness was even when I rolled.

Cookie Dough

Then cut out circles in graduating sizes. I used 3-7/8, 3, 2-5/8 and 2-1/4 inch sizes.

Cookie Dough

Before you bake, use a plastic drinking straw to remove the centers of each cookie. The straw collects the dough in the center. Convenient.

Freeze the cut shapes for about 10 minutes to help the dough avoid spreading and then bake.

And when they come out of the oven, use the straw again to make sure the holes stay the same size.

Shapes

Use the dough scraps and tiny cutters to cut out shapes for your desserts to go on display.

A piping tip like the one on the right will make circles with rounded tops since the tip is cone-shaped.

Makes great mini macarons or whoopie pies. Just tap the tip on the counter to release the dough.

Cookie Dough Shapes

Lots of little shapes.

Cookie Cutters

Assorted shapes – around 1 inch wide.

Tiny alphabet cutters. XOXO

Graduated ovals – plain on one side and crinkled on the other.

And my favorite – I can’t live without – graduated circle cutters that I used to make the stands.

Graduated Cookie Shapes

You’ll want to use four different sizes to make the 3-tier stands.

Note: For the chocolate cookies, I swapped out 1/2 flour for 1/2 cup cocoa and used all vanilla extract in Bridget’s recipe.

Piped

After they are baked and cooled, and then comes the piping. This always goes smoother in my head than when I actually start piping.

Pipe first with outline icing and then fill with flood icing.

However for these I ended up using a royal icing consistency somewhere in between and piped and filled with the same consistency.

Piped

Ugh – wonky lines. Not what I’d hoped.

So after I filled and before the icing set completely, I piped dots all the way around. Camouflage it.

Much better.

Let cookies dry overnight. And after all the cookie decorating save leftover royal icing in an airtight container or in the piping bag with the ends tied off and cap closed for finishing up the project the next day.

Now comes the fun part.

Decorating

Ice the cakes and decorate!

Easy details for major impact.

Luster Dust

Oh and those macarons, try painting them with a little luster dust.

Just mix some of the powder with a small amount of clear extract and you can paint right on the cookies.

Pretty.

Play food

Pretty dang cute!

Cookie Dessert Stands

And even cuter on display.

These were surprisingly easy to make stand up.

Cookie Sticks

Start with using cookie sticks for the support. These are bigger than the lollipop sticks I usually use for cake pops (lower right).

The sticks should be about 6 inches tall for the stands. Buy the 6 inch sticks or cut down the 8 inch.

Use a cookie stick to gently twist through each cookie opening to make sure it goes through before building.

And make sure your cookie icing is completely dry and set from the day before.

IMG_1276

Sugar Cookie Stands

  1. Start with the smallest cookie shape. It should not be iced. Place on a flat surface and then insert the cookie stick. Slide the largest iced cookie on top. Having two cookies on the bottom will give you more support and keep the stick straight.
  2. Cut striped straws into 1 1/2 inch sections. Slide one straw piece over the stick and push to the bottom as a spacer/ledge.
  3. Slide second largest iced cookie on stick until it stops at the straw. Then slide another straw piece on top.
  4. Slide last cookie on top until it stops at the straw. Then slide one more straw piece on the very top. Wrap a piece of washi tape around the straw and cut out a triangle for a cute flag topper.
  5. Note: Not shown. Use the leftover royal icing to pipe in between the two bottom cookies and pipe dots around the centers of each tier to help secure the cookies in place as you build. Attach the desserts to the tiers with royal icing too. Then let dry and don’t move for a few hours. I skipped this step because I wanted to get right to taking pictures.

Sugar Cookie Dessert Stands

There you have it four cookies for 3-tier stands. Bridget’s recipe will make four stands with enough cookies to decorate.

And these can be totally scaled back? Two tiers? Just a cookie plate? Just the tiny cookies? Only one cookie shape? Choose how you want to play.

Cookie Stands

They’d be super fun and totally stand out for Valentine’s Day, for a dessert party or even party favors.

Enjoy!

  99. I went to an early movie and then dinner with my husband and some good friends…..got home before the snow. Yay!! I managed to get in some cleaning but the Christmas Decorations are still waiting to be packed away….maybe next weekend. My most favorite part was whipping up some cake pops, well got them started…all shaped waiting to be dipped and decorated hoping to do that tonight.

Still fun to play and try things out and my husband does not mind being the ginnypig either!!

  157. I did a whole bunch of nothing. I read a book and started another one but I’m off of work for knee surgery so there isn’t a whole lot I can do. I’m taking advantage of it while I can :)

  158. Very cute cookies and stands! I didn’t do very much. Recovering from a cold and an asthma attack.

  159. My 4 year old and I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. He loves to bake with me. I think it is the fun of cracking the eggs and measuring out all of the ingredients that he truly loves.

  160. Was going to make banana ark chocolate raspberry bread but instead spent the weekend cleaning house.

  161. These are the cutest things I have seen in a looooong time! And I have pretty adorable kids, so that’s saying something!

  162. Those are absolutely adorable!

  163. We took advantage of a childcare night at our church to go out with some friends to a great new restaurant in town!

  164. I threw my back out doing chores. Not the best way to spend a weekend, but I got caught up on some of my DVRed shows.

  165. My husband and I took our 10 month old daughter to the park to swing. She loves swinging with Daddy!

  166. I traveled to Penn State for a convention with a few friends. This meant that we stayed up too late and got up too early. I’m not really sure how I’m functioning right now, but it was still fun.

  167. Haha! I spent the weekend trying to make sugar cookies! But the dough was not right – too crumbly and wouldn’t roll out). You are just in time with this recipe, and I will be trying again tonight!

  168. How creative!

    This weekend, I started drafting a pattern to make an A-line skirt.

  169. Made canadian flag shaped/colored cookies for a presentation that kiddo had at school on the canadian flag.

  171. This weekend I had to work at the bakery… http://Www.dippedanddazzled.com finishing up orders, and then I spent time with family and friends.

    This weekend – I was under the weather – and stayed home making lots of gum paste flowers for my first cake competition!

  173. These cookie stands and mini cookies are the cutest thing ever! It’s a great idea for a birthday girl or just a special day gift wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow and a little hand made tag. Love it!

  177. I went on a road trip with all of my friends. We slept in a hostel in a village called Taanayel in Lebanon (Middle east). Our Rooms were very traditional so basically our beds were on the floor! http://arcenciel.org/fr/programmes/aubergetaanayel.htm

    lovely weekend very relaxing :)

  178. Chocolate pudding, a new pair of shoes and movie.

  179. My husband cut himself at work (he works at a meat market) so I was the good wife and waited with him and took care of him. I did not, at any time, view the wound though – that is where I draw the line!

  180. Had to do a work thing last weekend but I’m making yummy cookies and cupcakes for the Super Bowl party this weekend!

  181. My husband and I drove 9 1/2 hours to visit daughter and family in North Carolina. Having a wonderful time with family and grandkids.
