Make Baby Shower Cookies - Mix up your favorite rolled sugar cookie recipe. It is recommended that you double or triple your recipe in the event that a large number of guests attend the baby shower. As usual, roll out your sugar cookies on a floured surface.
Instead of using more traditional cookie cutter shapes like stars and circles, use popular baby-themed cookie cutters that feature baby bottles, carriages, rattles and booties. Press the cutters into your dough. Check with family and friends to see if they have baby-themed cookie cutters that you can borrow. If not, baby-themed cookie cutters are available at most storefront or online kitchen stores.
Make Baby Shower Cookies
Once you have formed all of your baby-themed cookie shapes, bake them per your recipe instructions. After allowing the cookies to properly cool, prepare to frost and decorate your baby-shaped cookies with pastel colors. Begin by spooning out white frosting into separate bowls and adding one drop of different-hued food coloring into each bowl of frosting. Pastel blue, pink, green and yellow are suitable icing colors for baby-themed cookies and are typically achieved by adding only one or two drops of food coloring into the individual frosting bowls.
Use a small spatula or knife to mix the frosting colors together. If you want to darken you frosting colors, simply add more food coloring, one drop at a time.
Once you have achieved your frosting colors, ice your baby-themed cookies. If desired, sprinkle pastel sprinkles on the cookies for extra embellishment.
