These cookies were so much fun to make. I am now completely in love with disco dust (a.k.a. edible glitter). The finished product had the date, 8-28, written on the band in edible ink. I thought they were adorable and delicious. The only issue I had with them was the earthquake here on the East Coast...
My husband, our two girls, and I were in the car at the time of the earthquake. We didn't feel a thing. But, when we arrived home (3 minutes later), our neighbors were all outside, completely freaked out and warned us most everything would probably have fallen from the walls. Um...nope. A few pictures were crooked, but nothing was damaged (and here in DC, we supposedly took the strongest hit...). But, when I started to pick up these cookies, already individually packaged and waiting to be boxed for shipping, I noticed several of them had broken along the edge of the diamond and band. I always make plenty extra so it wasn't a problem, but I, of course, become completely stressed out over whether they would arrive in one piece or not. Thankfully, they arrived just fine and the pictures from the Tiffany-themed party were stunning! My cookies accompanied a gift-box shaped cake and were all set atop a table that looked as though it was strewn with loose diamonds. Gorgeous!
Along with this order came a request for a dozen pig cookies, and I knew exactly how I wanted to do them. Disco dust! That was it. The only detail. I simply covered the cookies in pink royal icing and while still wet, coated them in pink disco dust. I, maybe, just a little bit, fell completely in love with these cookies. They were just begging for me to show my admiration and eat them. I may have obliged. Just a little.
Recipes:
I used this chocolate cookie recipe (To. Die. For.): The End All for Chocolate Cookies. Follow her directions. She knows what she's talking about.
And, then I used this no-chill recipe from Sweet Sugar Belle (because time was an issue) for the sparkly pig friends: Basic Sugar Cookies.
