Ah, fireworks. I love a big fireworks show. I do not love when our neighbors shoot them off in the middle of a drought and I lie awake at night wondering when our roof will catch on fire.
Fireworks cookies are a must, though, whether heading to a big Independence Day shindig or bribing your neighbors not to burn your house down. ;)
I've made fireworks cookies before, both on the blog and in Decorating Cookies (on major sale right now on Amazon). These are my favorite, though. I've said it before, I'll say it again....black outlines make everything POP! (Pun intended.)
One other great thing about outlining everything in black is that the cookies come together much more quickly than having two consistencies of icing for each color.
I'm sharing the step-by-step tutorial on Imperial Sugar's Sweetalk blog today. We'll talk everything from recipes to use, to the right consistency of icing, to how to corral sparkling sugar so that it doesn't get all over your kitchen floor.
Come on over and check it out! This is a great weekend project...make the cookies on Saturday and sit back and relax on the 4th. Your dessert is ready!
