Jelly beans anyone? This cookie merges two classic treats into one. Easy-peasy for sure, and oh, so cute!
I had to include black jelly beans because they are my all-time favorite! Notice how there are no actual black jelly beans left:) That's because I picked them all out (there's never enough black ones!) and ate every last one of them as soon as I brought the bag home!
Before I started these I searched the internet to see if I could find jelly bean cookies. Initially, I could only find cookies that baked the jelly beans into the cookie. Finally, I found some cute, little jelly bean cookies at The Decorated Cookie:) I should have known that Meaghan would come up with this cute cookie idea! It was obvious that I saw these cookies long ago because I commented on the post, but I was happy to have my memory refreshed:)
I have a petit four cutter set from Ateco which has a bean shaped cutter. How lucky is that? The cutter is 1.5-inch, which makes for a nice size two-bite jelly bean cookie. Of course it can be eaten it one bite, if you prefer.
This cookie is a sugar cookie/royal icing combo.
As you can see it's a super simple cookie, especially since I already had the bean shaped cutter. If you don't have such a cutter, I'm sure any small oval shape would work, or small half-circle. It's a pretty simple shape to improvise.
Procedure:
I used a #4 tip to outline and fill the cookie with the royal icing. The royal icing was not too thick and not too thin in order to fill the cookie with the icing right after outlining it. I let the cookies dry for a short while and then added the white detail with the #2 tip.
These are fast, fun cookies to make, and I love them!
Put them in jars or cellophane bags tied with a pretty ribbon and they'd make a great gift/favor.
ENJOY!!!
