For the Love of Cookies

Last week I shared a few Zentangle-inspired cookies that contained a little simple flower in their design. Today I use that pattern and another simple flower sketch as the base for this set of cookies.

All designs were demonstrated in the youtube channel 15 minutes of Zen, that I discussed in my previous post. I used a food pen to draw the flower over white or red cookies, but you can also use different colors of pen over white or other backgrounds.

The exact pattern can be applied with piping consistency icing over a naked cookie, so that those who prefer less sugar will be happy.

I sprayed PME pearl luster over the whole cookie to give it a little shine…

I also used black piping consistency icing to incorporate this flower on pastel purple iced cookies… And the additional flower pattern was made using a fine tip food safe pen. Piping that one would be a bit tricky, I think…

Drawing these motifs is really easy and relaxing, and as I mentioned before, it always looks ok in the end, no matter what happens…

I hope you give the 15 minutes of Zen youtube a try, even if you are not into cookie decorating. Just a blank small piece of paper, a pencil, and a nice relaxing break for your mind…
