Spring Cookie Decorating {Giveaway!}

By: Lindsey Duncan | March 23 2017
We are so excited it’s finally spring. We live in the Pacific Northwest so of course we expect a rainy winter, but we did not sign up for what we got this season: a year’s worth of rain in just five relentless months! Monday marked the first day of spring, and we decided to share our joy with you by offering a giveaway of everything you need to make fun spring cookies! I got together with Amber from our Customer Service team (have you ever called us? Maybe you’ve met her!) and had a really fun cookie-fest, resulting in the beautiful (if I do say so myself) spread below. Our Food Innovation Chef Sarah House, created this rockstar sugar cookie recipe using our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. We highly recommend this recipe for tasty treats that no one will suspect are gluten free! How about our icing? We used a really basic royal icing recipe because it’s super easy: just egg whites, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract. We added lots of extra powdered sugar since we wanted the icing to hold its shape, and when we made the tan-colored frosting we added even more powdered sugar since we wanted it to be stiff enough to show the basket details: Another great option for hand-decorating cookies is buttercream frosting. Want to know how to make the basket above? Watch Amber show you how! She used tip #47 for the basket, #14 for the basket trim, #233 for the grass, and we recommend #2 for the eggs.

All of our tools for this project were Wilton brand–you can find their products at craft and art stores as well as grocery stores and online. Now for the fun part: we're giving you a set of everything we used! Check out the swag in the photo below (sorry, we're not sending you the cookies. You have to decorate your own. Plus, we already ate them!). The giveaway will be open to entries from 9:00 AM March 23 through 11:59 PM, Pacific time, March 31. We’ll notify the winner on April 3 so you have your supplies in time for Easter! Enter below and good luck!

    Such a lovely idea! I'll have to try this for my daughter-in-law who has so many health issues, one of which is gluten-intolerance! Thank you!

    Bob's Red Mill has been a real blessing for me! When I was diagnosed with Celiac, everything I initially tried Gluten Free, I really didn't like!!! I was getting scared about how I was going to eat. Then I was told about Bob's Red Mill which I could only find at Whole Foods at the time. OMGosh the products were fantastic!!! I buy them whenever I can now. I live on your GF Oatmeal for breakfast. I love the 1 to 1 baking flour, actually I just love it ALL :)

    I am so happy to have found Bob's Red Mill! I have tried so many other flours and they don't compare-I use the organic flour and I can't believe the flavor and freshness it brings! I also have a peace of mind that I'm giving my family the best-we love food and we love our health and we love Bobs Red Mill!

    I have always wanted to get a real set like this to use when my daughter gets old enough to help make them with me. We would have so many memories and I think it's great that you would be so kind as to give these away.
