Christmas Cookie Craft-Along this Sunday at 1:00 (!PM!) EST!
Added 2022-12-16 15:46:14 +0000 UTCHa! So sorry, it will be 1:00 (PM) EST this Sunday! Were decorating cookies not digging graves ;)
Hello!
This Sunday we will be having some fun with frosting! We're going to see what we can do with cookies cut from traditional Christmas cookie cutters :D
Using the recipes below, I'm going to have already mixed, cut and baked my cookies, so this will be a craftalong dedicated to decorating!
In this stream, I will also be announcing the winners of last week's contest!
Can't wait to have some eggnog with you and see how big of a mess we can make! :))
-Christine
Livestream will be at 1:00 (!PM!) EST this Sunday December 18th
Shortbread Cookies Recipe:
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Confectioners Sugar
1 1/4 Cup Butter
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbs Almond Milk
Sift flour, sugar and salt and whisk. Add cubed butter in a stand mixer. Add vanilla, salt and milk. Combine until texture resembles wet sand. Add more milk if the mixture is too dry and does not easily form a ball. Chill at least one hour.
Heat oven to 320 degrees. Roll out dough into a 1/8inch sheet and cut out shapes using your favorite cookie cutters.
Royal Icing Recipe:
6 Tbs Chilled Aquafaba (Reduced Chickpea Brine) or egg whites
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/8 Tsp Cream of Tartar
1/8 Tsp Almond Flavoring
1 Tsp Vanilla
4 Cups Confectioners Sugar
Whisk chilled aquafaba (or egg whites) in a stand mixer until frothy. Add salt, cream of tartar, almond flavor and vanilla. Mix and then add 4 cups of confectioners sugar, adding one cup at a time and mixing before adding the next. Once soft peaks are visible, transfer to an airtight container and chill until ready to use.
Extra things to have on hand...
Piping bags and tips
Food coloring
Sprinkles
Fine point brushes
An ugly Christmas sweater and some old fashioned Christmas music!

Theresa
2022-12-16 18:10:08 +0000 UTCI didnβt think there was anything strange about cookies after midnight. Just donβt feed it to the mogwai.
Karrianne Sorrenti
2022-12-16 17:59:34 +0000 UTCHere is part two of a two-part cake video she did about a year ago. Pretty sure this is the one where she walks you through the vegan royal icing. I still am looking for a good opportunity to try this one out! https://www.patreon.com/posts/51796621?utm_campaign=postshare_fan

2022-12-16 17:40:53 +0000 UTCChristine, that cookie photo set up is quite amazing π€© like everything you do. I appreciate your attention to details!

2022-12-16 16:13:16 +0000 UTCLol get it right Christine! π
Vicky Flores
2022-12-16 16:12:26 +0000 UTCThey are okay for people to use. Not everyone is plant-based, some of us by legitimate medical necessity. Please try to be kind to others and understand that everyone has different challenges and hardships in their lives.
Katherine R
2022-12-16 16:11:46 +0000 UTCI'm sure she will do that here but putting "or eggs" and etc. In the recipe description greenlights the idea that they are okay for people to use. I just wish she made the full ethical connection instead of promoting the idea that it's simply a dietary choice.
Cecilia
2022-12-16 16:06:22 +0000 UTCIn her two-part cake decorating video from about a year ago, she discusses this at length. She used Miyokos vegan butter and entirely vegan options for those tutorials and so would expect that to be the same here. I still really want to try the recipe she came up with for that vegan cake and buttercream. It looked so good! π
Brandon Grew
2022-12-16 15:59:56 +0000 UTCI can understand your stance but I didn't take it as promoting non-plant based ingredients. I saw it as she was trying to give options for all, because her audience is varied and has different viewpoints on things like this. Yes, people can find substitutions on their own, but I doubt Christine was purposely trying to promote anything except a fun live stream.

2022-12-16 15:54:26 +0000 UTCI'm assuming from everything else there, it's vegan butter...
