today we're making corn on the cob cookies not
cookies made out of corn on the cob but cookies that look like corn on the cob similar to this one
right here they're sugar cookies i used a cookie cutter it was actually a carrot cookie cutter that
have the top on it I chopped it off and then baked them you could also use any kind of cookie cutter
that has more height than width even an Easter egg cookie cutter would work you could do the same
you're going to need three different colors of icing and if you've watched my videos before
you know I use just a plain powdered sugar icing powdered sugar with a bit of clear vanilla and
then enough milk to make the consistency that I want we're going to need green we're going to need
yellow we're going to need white colored icing I use the Ziploc bags to put all of my icing in and
I just clip off the corner to make a hole just get it all to the corner clip it off I always look at
a picture of some kind to do my cookies whether it's something off the internet or magazine I
happen to take a picture of corn that we grew this year and printed that off for the green we
don't have to be too particular about it we're just going to make sure we leave some space here
for the corn to fit so I'm just going to go like this when I kind of wiggle on the outside you
can go straight out sides if you want I do the same on the other side and then fill it in and I
just use the same icing in the bag to fill it in and I don't even spread it with a knife I just
kind of spread it with the tip of the bag just keep squeezing it and spreading it until you feel
like you have enough i guess you could also use a knife if you wanted to to spread it but this works
just fine for me okay same on the other side so let's let that dry and we'll be right back to add
the yellow so I have another one that I've already done in green here so now I'm going to just use a
yellow outline just to kind of give us a guide as to where to keep the corn and where not so we're
just going to go just like this doesn't have to be perfect this isn't corn so and then we just
going to let that dry it well but let's pretend we didn't see that there we'll just let that dry
just a little bit for our next step which is going to be to add the white kernels first okay here
we have another one the green is dry the yellow is dried now we're going to add some white kernels
so we're going to space those out not next to each other just throughout we're probably going to
do three or four rows of corn on here I'm going to put one at the bottom just because that give
me a good base what I'm going to do is squeeze it out and make kind of an oval or longer shape
as opposed to just a circle shape because the corn is the corn kernels have some length to them
they're not going to evenly spaced them out a bit just going to be ever so often okay stop there
we're going to let those dry a little bit and then we're going to come back and do the same with
the fill in with a yellow so next we're going to add the yellow the white has hardened up a little
bit so if we touch it it's not going to if we add another color next to it it's not going to run
into it so what we're going to do first is take the yellow and do the same little ovals look kind
of some length to it on each side of the yellow that really gives us a good guide for rows of
corn and since the white has already hardened we know it's not going to run into each other so
on each side of the yellow excuse me on each side of the white goes the yellow and then what we're
going to do after we get it all the way on all the white then we're going to go back and fill in
with some yellow we're not going to fill it all in because again we don't want the colors to touch
even the yellow and yellow when it's both wet so we're going to go back in we're going to fill in
some more yellow in some blank spots like up here over here just so it's not going to be touching
anything any other icing and then we're going to do this all along as long as we have spaces
now we're going to let this dry for a little bit oops I got a little close there and then we're
going to come back and fill in the rest so okay so now those have set up a little bit so now we're
going to go back in and fill with yellow in those empty spaces the number of rows that you make
on the corn depends on the size of the cookie cutter you have and the size that you cut the
hole in the bag the bigger the hole the bigger the kernels of corn that you're making also
leave some space is empty because sometimes the corner of the car but doesn't all fill in
as well and if you wanted more white you could even just use a bigger tip like I did on this
one I not a bigger tip a bigger hole in the bag this the white here is substantially bigger
than the white on this one but same thing if you're doing big white you'll want to do big
yellow it just depends on what you want yours to look like if you want lots of little kernels
or do you want some nice big curls that's how you make corn on the cob cookies then I'll
go back and fill these in later after that sets up a little more so I got corn on the cob
cookies or cookies it look like corn on the cob
