Hey Besties, I hope you enjoy this year’s Memorial Day cookies decorated with a whole lot of love and heart. I intentionally reserved my strictly patriotic designs for 4th of July this year. While deciding to create Memorial Day designs more focused on the reason for this special day. Using a variety of difference techniques to create this set, I hope it inspires you! I am deeply grateful to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to serve for our freedom. Thank you!
Cutout Cookie Recipe
For this set, I used my favorite vanilla cutout cookie variation which you can find HERE. No chilling involved, so these are super quick, easy and delicious! But if you want to try another flavor, you’ve got options! You can find MANY more flavors, HERE!
My favorite royal icing recipe
The only recipe I use for all my cookie decorating can be found HERE! No gatekeeping around here, Bestie, I share everything! Super simple and easy to make with just a few steps that make all the difference in your results. I’m so thankful for a recipe I can count on for consistent, beautiful and delicious results every time. It makes decorating so much more fun!
Memorial Day Cookies Decorated for heros
For this set, I wanted to use a variety of different techniques that anyone can learn and use. Each design introduces something different, and I hope you enjoy the video below. I chose to use standard plaque shapes from THIS cutter set, which I use in every order. And the USA cookie cutter that’s available HERE. It’s definitely one I reach for a lot during Memorial, 4th of July and Veterans Day holidays.
