Ingredients
Scale
Icing
- 300g icing sugar
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- Enough water to make a thick icing (approx. 2-4 tbsp)
Decoration
- 4 giant cookies (plain or slightly flavored)
- Sweets and sprinkles for decorating
- Icing pen for writing names
Instructions
- Prepare the icing: In a bowl, mix the icing sugar with the peppermint extract. Gradually add enough water, a little at a time, to form a thick but spreadable icing consistency.
- Ice the cookies: Spread the prepared icing evenly over the surface of each giant cookie. Carefully create a border around the edge of the icing using assorted sweets and sprinkles, pressing gently to set them in place.
- Set the icing: Allow the iced cookies to rest for 10 minutes so the icing firms up and sets properly.
- Personalize the biscuits: Using an icing pen, write each guest’s name in the center of their respective cookie, ensuring the icing has dried slightly to avoid smudging.
- Wrap for presentation: Once dry, wrap each iced biscuit individually in cellophane and secure with a decorative ribbon for an attractive presentation at your gathering.
Notes
- Ensure the icing is thick enough to hold decorations but still spreadable.
- Use different colors of sweets and sprinkles to customize cookies for various occasions.
- Allow ample drying time to prevent smudging when writing names.
- Giant cookies can be homemade or store-bought, but plain flavors work best to highlight the icing decoration.
- Store wrapped biscuits in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
