Pick what I needNothing makes a birthday sweeter than cute decorated cookies! Our newest kit has the essentials for making five birthday cookies: Cake, Present, Balloon, Candle, and Happy Birthday cookie!
Cookie Yield
For a single batch of dough, you can make about 23 of these cookies (5 cakes, 4 presents, 6 candles, 4 fluted circles, and 4 balloons). I should note that I roll my cookies to 1/4" thick using the Dough EZ Rolling Mat System. The thickness of your cookies will impact your yield.
COOKIE RECIPE: For a cookie recipe and rolling and baking video CLICK HERE - this recipe can be doubled in a KitchenAid Mixer.
Prepping the Royal Icing
ICING PREP
For a single batch of dough, I typically use a single batch of icing. Since I'm using a KitchenAid mixer, I made a double batch of icing and split it in half (reserving half for another project).
ICING GUIDE
The birthday cookie set has 6 icing colors - using 5 gels (I used the pink in both pastel and dark tone).
ICING PLAN BY THE OUNCE
Turquiose - 4 oz (pipe and flood)
Bright White - 5 oz (pipe and flood)
Deep Pink - 1 oz (pipe only)
Pastel Pink - 3 oz (pipe and flood)
Lemon Yellow - 3 oz (pipe and flood)
Purple - 3 oz (pipe and flood)
These amounts are ESTIMATES. When it comes to how much icing to make, l don't measure exactly...I estimate. For a more detailed look at icing planning, CLICK HERE to read this helpful blog post.

Project Timeline
Plan ahead to enjoy the most success with your cookie project! I break up the decorating process. It works better with my life to do a little each day. Here is the schedule for this cookie project and estimated times on how long each phase takes.
DAY 1
Mix Dough (30 mins), Chill Dough (2 hours inactive time), Roll and Bake (1 hour), Mix Royal Icing and Prep Icing Colors - it is helpful to make the colors the day before you decorate because the color will deepen overnight (1 hour).
DAY 2
Outline and Flood Cookies (1-2 hours), Allow to dry in front of fan before adding details (1 hour for standard cookies or 6 hours before stenciling with royal icing - like the Happy Birthday cookies). Piping details and stenciling (1.5-2 hours)
**ALLOW COOKIES TO FULLY DRY 18-24 HOURS BEFORE PACKING. STORE IN A COOL OVEN OVER NIGHT.**
DAY 3
