Easy Galaxy Cookies (Buttercream Icing)
Easy galaxy cookies recipe, homemade with simple ingredients. These chocolate chip cookies are decorated with pink, purple, black, blue buttercream icing swirl and sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 14 Chocolate chip cookies I made some regular sized and some mini sized.
- 4 cups Buttercream icing Colored pink, blue, purple, black
- ⅓ cup Sprinkles Buy a pre-made space themed mix.
Instructions
- Bake chocolate chip cookies and allow them to cool fully to room temperature.
- While the cookies are baking and cooling, prepare the icing and color it with gel food coloring.
- Spread a large sheet of saran wrap on your counter.
- Pipe or roughly spoon rows of different colored icings. I like to use more black than other bright colors.
- Roll the saran wrap into a log and twist both ends.
- Slide it through a piping bag that's been attached with Wilton Tip # 1M.
- Snip off the saran wrap corner with scissors and when you squeeze the bag, the icing should be able to come through easily now.
- Roll the piping bag in your hands to allow the colors to roughly mix with each other.
- Finally, frost a swirl of icing on top of each cookie. If you have never piped a swirl, check out this detailed post on How to Decorate Cupcakes (Pipe or Frost Cupcakes).
- Spray some edible silver dust for little bit of sheen. This is optional.
- Toss sprinkles on top of the icing. Enjoy.
