Football sugar cookies

That Steelers loss the other week hurt. (Didn't hurt too much since they didn't exactly play well, but it still hurt.) I made these cookies for the big game, and was really happy with how they came out.

Once again, I used this sugar cookie recipe. I cut the cookies into jersey and football shapes. For the royal icing, I added in 1/2t of lemon extract to liven up the flavor. Once the outline icing was ready, I separated out two small bowls of it (for the lettering), and divided the rest between two larger bowls. Using the small bowls and food coloring gel, make one bowl yellow and one bowl white. In the larger bowls, dye one bowl brown and one black.


For the jersey cookies:




Once dry (overnight), use the yellow and white icing to write in player names and numbers, and to decorate the arms of the jerseys.



For the football cookies: 


Thin the icing, then used it to flood the cookies.


Once dry, use the white icing to decorate the stitching.







And if you're a Steelers fan (or just a football fan in general), check out this post from Bakerella. So amazing I was speechless.
