Mustache Cookies

I thought it would be fun to make some mustache cookies for Alexander’s Mustache Bash, that I shared with you here, and wanted to show you how I made them. They’d be cute for pretty much any occasion, and let me tell you, they went fast at the party. 😉

I started out by making my regular sugar cookies, you could use what ever recipe you usually use. Roll out the dough to be fairly thick, it gives the cookies a little more stability on the lollipop stick. I used the Crustache cutter, which is really for cutting the crust off of sandwiches. It worked great as a cookie cutter too, and made cutting the cookies really quick, since it’s three cut-outs in one.

After I cut out the dough, I set a lollipop stick under the middle, placing it as high up as possible on the cookie, and pressing it into the dough slightly. I was a little worried that the baked cookies would be very breakable. I iced them really carefully. I did have a few break during transport to the party, but for the most part they worked out fine.

Now for the really fun part, icing the cookies. I made a really simple chocolate icing. For some I iced the cookies with a knife, and then decorated them with chocolate sprinkles.

I really love how whisker-y they looked. And, as a general rule, all kids LOVE sprinkles, so they’re always a hit with the littles at a party.

My second idea was to use the grass icing tip -Wilton tip #233 (that I bought to make the Oscar the grouch cupcakes way back here) to make long icing whiskers.

There was a little learning curve here. I stared out trying to make short whiskers, but it didn’t look so good. Here’s the method that worked best for me: starting on one side, do the outside set of whiskers, starting about 1/3 of the way from the bottom and dragging the icing to the end.

Over lap with a second row, about 2/3 from the bottom, and a final row from the centre. Do the same thing on the other side.

I love how they turned out. They were delicious and so cute.

And, who doesn’t look cute with a mustache?

With cookies this good, that double as a disguise if needed, life really is a party!

Instagram post 2191863524343348609_202589158 I had fun adding some pink to my Christmas decor for my “Merry and Bright” Party. This spot looked so great it inspired me to use some more colour in the basement this year. Can’t wait to share. 🎄🎅🏻 This printable artwork is available in our Etsy shop as a digital download.

Instagram post 2189708657151563933_202589158 It’s the first day of December and I’m already all about that warm candle lit glow. Here’s to many many evenings spent around twinkle lights, warm fires, and candle lit dinner tables. 🕯
Instagram post 2188219954386272747_202589158 It’s almost time for advent calendars. When my kids were younger it was a way for me as a busy mom during the holidays to be purposeful about spending quality time with my girls. I didn’t want my kids to grow up thinking Christmas was just about presents. I wanted to be purposeful about making special Christmas memories with my kids. I’ve created over 60 different activity cards in three different designs. They’re for sale in our Etsy shop. Head to Etsy and search “lifeisapartyshop”. Everything is 50% off now until Monday-enjoy the memory making. ;) 🎅🏻🎄
