Compliments are always abundant on how these taste. I edged each cookie with a slightly thick, white Glace Icing.
I cut it out, traced it on thin cardboard and had my desired pattern. The approx. I found it was really easy to mark the lines while the icing was still slightly soft.
Day Two: Once the white icing had an opportunity to harden, it was time to tackle the black icing. I used a whole bottle of black food coloring for a half recipe of Glace Icing. This assured a nice, dark black color. I was careful to make the black icing thick enough so that it would hold its form through a thin tip but thin enough to get through the hole of the tip easily.
I should mention that I used liquid food coloring, which made the regular icing recipe super thin. I simply added additional powdered sugar until it reached the desired consistency. This was the messiest and most difficult part of the whole process. Messy, because my hands were blackened with the whole process but all rinsed away without a problem.
Difficult, because you really must have a steady hand and you must be careful not to drip the black icing onto other parts of the cookie or onto other cookies. I carefully edged every imprinted hexagon- as shown in the picture- and then let those edges set up until slightly hardened. The nice thing about this part is that if you get tired at any point during decorating, just slip the icing tub into a ziploc bag while you relax for a while.
I was psychotically careful about the whole process. This recipe makes exactly fifteen 6-inch-diameter cookies. I brought a basket of my finished Soccer Treats to the team party. Broken or not, they were almost as big of a hit as the trophies. The cookie recipe can be found HERE.

I love hearing from you! Submit your question or review below. Your email address will not be published. Hi I was wondering when you leave the cookies out so the glace will dry, will the cookies get hard?? The cookies firm up slightly… but you want that. I decided to take the old fashion route.
Using tufting method and piping black and white panels individually. It takes longer to complete but the finished design with added dimension is more realistic than airbrushing.
That being said airbrushing is a great option. It is much faster, too. To trace the outlines of each section I used an edible marker. Make sure to mark the hexagons or pentagons with a dot. It makes it easier to navigate while you are decorating with royal icing.
I cut out sections with an exacto knife. You can find my template when you scroll down a bit. This cutter creates an imprint in your cookies before you bake them. The only disadvantage I find with using this cutter is that sometimes the cookie edges can become slightly misshaped in baking.
Making it harder to decorate cookies. Start with second consistency black royal icing and outline each section and pipe connecting lines aka bridges.
The trick is to make the bridges thick enough so when you fill in the white hexagons white will not cover the black bridges. This is especially useful when flooding hexagons and pentagons. Use the needle tool to accentuate the corners. You can also try and ice every other section.
