Donald Cookies

Over the past few days I made and decorated Donald duck cookies from a brown bag cookie mold. The process was fun and different. 
 My mold looks just like this one (although this is not my image)


Image from Artistic Cookies they have a wide selection of cookie molds available 

At first I followed the recipe included in my mold's booklet exactly, but I quickly realized the dough was far too sticky to make a molded cookie. This meant I had to knead in flour until the dough felt right (mind you this is my first time using this recipe).
 That created a huge mess:

 In the end though, my cookies unmolded beautifully. Here they are right before going in the oven: CIMG5189 

 And here they are right after they came out:

 Then I put a light glaze on them:

 Which waterproofed them enough that I could try "painting" the cookies:

 I used gel food coloring like water colors, which was much easier than piping, and made for a gorgeous cookie (in my opinion)
