Okay, by now you know how much of a cookie nerd I am (and if you’re new here, you’re about to get a strong dose of it), so you shouldn’t be surprised that I’m sharing this:
*
Ode to the Cookie
*
Ah, you scrumptious cookie
Of you I fantasize
The glorious gingersnap, the sweet sugar cookie
Flavours melding together as they dance
And skitter across my taste buds
Oozing sugary goodness.
*
Ah, you, scrumptious cookie
Your flooded icing smooth as silk
Enhancing your beauty with loving designs
Though almost too beautiful to sample,
I cannot deny myself the pleasure you bring
With each bite.
*
Ah, you, scrumptious cookie
As my hand reaches for more
My mouth waters, waiting in anticipation
For the first shock of sweetness
To eat you is an event of the senses
I sit, I sample, I sigh.
Thank you, scrumptious cookie.
♡
So, I have to italicize this just in case; my friend Michelle created that happy ode for me, and she just might be is my hero. (Thank you for the ode Michelle!). I could read a thousand tutorials on writing an ode, and I wouldn’t be able to come up with anything as clever as hers.
I can share a little how to on decorating these cherry pie cookies though, so here’s the second version for you. If you’d like to try the blue version I’ve posted a little how to here.
Decorating Cherry Pie Cookies

Gingerbread Dough and Royal Icing
I used my gingerbread dough recipe and you can find my favorite royal icing recipe here. The consistency of icing is key for easy decorating. Click here to see a YouTube video on finding the right icing thickness.

Step One:
Outline the pie plate shape with royal icing, using a #2 tip. For detailed decorating tips, this tutorial may be helpful for you.
Step Two:
With the same icing, flood, or fill in your shape.
Step Three:
Shake the cookie gently to help the icing smooth over.
Step Four:
Using red icing and a #1.5 or #2 piping tip, pipe small red dots for cherries. Leave spaces between each dot so that they can set as distinct dots. Let the icing dry for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Step Five:
Pipe more small red dots for cherries. Let the icing dry for a minimum of 15 minutes and fill in remaining gaps with red icing. Let the red icing dry for a few hours.
Step Six:
Using a #1.5 piping tip, pipe a layer of ivory icing to begin the base of the “crust”. Let that set for about 15 minutes.
Step Seven:
Pipe your lattice lines in one direction.
Step Eight:
Pipe your lattice lines in the opposite direction, pipe the top layer of the crust and you’re done!
Notes:
- The pie crust icing color was made by mixing ivory with a little yellow.
- It might add a nice tough to dust a little light brown lustre dust on the pie crust for a natural browned look.
Happy cherry pie decorating!
