In honor of the Hobbit movie (part
1) which comes out in two days (I don't count the day it comes out, as it comes
out the first second of that day) I am having Pre-Hobbit parties at my
apartment. Monday the 10th we watched The Fellowship of the Ring, the
extended version. I made these adorable Hobbit hole cookies for the first
night.
Here is the tutorial:
1.
Use a regular sugar cookie recipe
for the cookie itself.
2.
After thoroughly mixing, roll the
dough into balls and then flatten them into circles on the baking sheet with your
palm.
3.
Bake them as the recipe recommends,
but always keep an eye on them just in case the recipe is wrong about
heat/time.
4.
After they are done baking take them
out, put them on a new plate, and stuck them in the fridge to cool.
5.
Make green frosting by spooning out
some cream cheese frosting (it can be another kind of white or off-white
frosting, I just prefer the taste of cream cheese) into a bowl and mixing in
some green food coloring.
6.
Smear the green frosting in a circle
over most of the cookie. Repeat for the
rest of the cookies. (TIP: The next few
processes will be easier if you have two plates of cookies. While working on one plate, place the other
in the fridge. This will make working
with adding layers of frosting easier)
7.
Put chocolate frosting in an icing
bag (or as I do, because I hate cleaning icing bags: a ziplock bag). If you are using an icing bag, put the
appropriate nozzle on. If you are using
a bag, push all of the frosting down to one corner and zip the bag. Then cut off a small triangle at the corner
so you can squeeze out the frosting.
Squeeze the frosting in a circle around the green center of the cookie.
8.
Put a spoonful of white frosting
into a bowl and add yellow. To apply the
yellow I just took a dollop and smeared it around until it was circular.
9.
This step is optional, but I
happened to have a small tube of green icing that I used to do the lines on the
doors to make them look like wood planks.
If you desire you can even do some wood grain lines!
Tonight we will be watching The Two
Towers and in honor of this movie I have made Lembas bread...or cookies. I
actually got the idea from this blogger who does amazing work: http://candybarcupcakes.blogspot.com/2012/03/elven-lembas-bread-cookies.html.
I do not have the baking expertise,
but it was fun none-the-less. Here are
my versions of what she did:
