Summer Cookie Ideas

I just got back from Krogers and saw some creative ideas for summer cookies. Plain sugar cookies with Watermellon Icing or Cotton Candy Icing, wouldn't the kids go wild for those!! I'm guessing all you would need is food flavoring oil and mix with the frosting. They also had samples out of thumb size brownies that had white icing piped onto them and sprinkled with little red,white and blue candy stars... cute!!

How fun!

Are those flavoring oils easy to find? I have peppermint, lemon, orange, anise oil and mapleine, but really haven't seen other flavors like Watermelon!

I make flavoured icing, by using icing sugar and instead of mixing with water I use the fruits natural juice.

Take 2 slices of watermelon put vanilla ice cream on one and creamy peanut butter on the other slice. Sprinkle brownie crumbs on top of the ice cream slice and put slices together. My grandkids love this.

Lorann Oils

Barbzy

The company I use the most is Lorann Oils, they have a website and also sell through Hobby Lobby.

https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super...andy-oils.aspx

Have fun, over 80 flavors to choose from.

That is a excellant backup plan for when you can't find the flavoring oils. I know I intend later next week to use orange juice in place of water in a cake mix and add OJ to powdered sugar to make Butter Cream frosting but flavored orange ( I love those Hostess Cup Cakes that are orange flavored and hard to find).

I use mayonaisse instead of eggs and oil in my cakes.

Anna thanks for the website. I will have to check it out.

Here is a recipe that use for cupcakes. I don't icing them.

Ingredients:
  • 1 package (18-1/2 ounces) chocolate or yellow cake mix
  • FILLING: 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
Mix cake according to package directions. Spoon batter into 24 greased or paper-lined muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, egg and sugar until smooth. Fold in the chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls into batter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until cupcakes test done.

My Kroger's sells the candy oils year round at the parmacy for $1 each. I'm assuming that is what you would use, correct?
