Tie Cookies with Goldfish

I have a thing for ugly ties. I don’t know what it is, but when I see a man wearing a weird tie it makes me giggle and puts me in a good mood. It isn’t just the look of the tie that makes me happy. I want to know the story behind it. How did this business man that is trying to sell me a car end up wearing a tie in the shape of an ugly fish (photo below). I wonder if his wife picked it out for him thinking, “He didn’t take the trash out so I am going to buy him this crazy ties and tell him how awesome it looks on him” while laughing inside like an evil villain from an old movie. Or it could have been a gift from one of his kids or maybe he lost a bet.

Anyway, an old ugly fish tie can inspire some tie cookies that will make you giggle!Simple Tie Cookies | The Bearfoot BakerAre you ready for the tie that inspired these tie cookies?

  • Begin by outlining the cookies with the blue icing.
  • Flood the knot of the tie with the blue icing.
  • Let it dry for about 10 minutes or long enough for the top layer of the icing to crust over.
  • Flood the rest of the tie.
  • While the icing is wet, add a few bubbles with the white icing.
  • Drop a fish royal icing transfer onto the tie while the blue icing is wet.
  • Let the cookies dry overnight.
