How to make Fish Cookies using a Round cutter.

Under the sea cookies

I made these cookies just because I had some royal icing left-over and I really wanted some of Lilaloa's delicious chocolate cookies.

I really liked how this one turned out.

Since my goal was just to eat good cookies I took my circle cutter and started cutting, just to see what I would get. I immediately saw a fish and went from there.

Using a paring knife I cut out fins. Do you see the fish?

Here is the fish with the scraps removed.

Here they are baked, I like the ones with the open mouth and would do more of those. For decorating I outlined and flooded the cookies with Royal Icing and added an eyeball. No big deal.

I also made some alligators.

Sometimes perfection is not the goal and we just need to eat cookies.
