Simple Fishing Cookies

Are you looking for something fun to do with the kids? Well, since it is the middle of winter and its too cold to play outside for very long, make some fishing cookies. They are easy to make and would be a great indoor activity that will remind them how fun it is playing in the warm sun. They will love it!

  • Green 15 Second Icing
  • Yellow 15 Second Icing
  • Black Sixlet for the eye
  • Toothpick or Turkey Lacer -A turkey lacer is one of my favorite tools ever!

  • Begin by outlining the body of the fish with the green icing. Don’t outline the fins yet because we’ll do that in a few minutes.
  • Next, add a few yellow royal icing lines on the fish while the gree icing one the body is wet.
  • Use the turkey lacer, a BooBoo Stick, or a toothpick to drag through the icing to make scales. This is called a wet on wet technique.
  • Add the Sixlet eye while the icing is wet and let the body dry for about 20 minutes.
  • Next, outline and flood the fins.
