sugar cookie football stadium

How To Make sugar cookie football stadium

• Step 1
  Prepare the sugar cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Step 2
  In a medium sized bowl, combine the sugar, butter, and egg. Beat until combined and creamy.
• Step 3
  In another small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix
• Step 4
  Stir in the two extracts and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Beat together until completely combined.
• Step 5
  The dough may be crumbly and that's okay. Knead the dough together to form a ball.
• Step 6
  If the dough is too wet, add more flour up to 1/4 cup.
• Step 7
  Wrap the dough tightly and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes, more preferably an hour.
• Step 8
  Roll out the dough to be cut.
• Step 9
  To cut out the field, touchdown, and fan cookies, roll out the dough and measure it to be 10 inches by 7 inches.
• Step 10
  With a butter knife and using the ruler, cut the rectangles to be 1 inch by 3 and 1/2 inches. You should have 20 rectangle cookies. (I used a pizza cutter)
• Step 11
  You can roll out the remaining sugar cookie dough to make as many footballs as you want or can with the remaining dough.
• Step 12
  Place the sugar cookies on a cookie sheet and freeze the cookies for 7-10 minutes before baking.
• Step 13
  Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes. Mine generally all took about 8.
• Step 14
  Prepare the icing: Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium-sized bowl and whisk together until the cream of tartar is fully incorporated.
• Step 15
  Add in the powdered sugar and mix with hand beaters or with a stand mixer for about 10-12 minutes or until stiff peaks form when you lift the mixers.
• Step 16
  Separate the icing into 3 bowls. Leave one white, dye one green, and dye the other brown.
• Step 17
  Place the green dye into a disposable bag with a #2 tip.
• Step 18
  Pipe a rectangle around all of the rectangular cookies.
• Step 19
  Add a little bit of water to the remaining green dye in the bowl and let the frosting sit with a damp towel for a few minutes.
• Step 20
  Transfer the frosting to a squeeze bottle and flood the cookies.
• Step 21
  Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles that appear in the cookie and to guide the frosting to the edges.
• Step 22
  Allow the frosting to dry completely before piping on the white lettering with a #1 tip.
• Step 23
  For the footballs: Outline the cookie with a #2 tip and brown icing.
• Step 24
  Add a little bit of water to the remaining brown dye in the bowl and let sit with a damp towel over the frosting for a few minutes.
• Step 25
  Transfer the frosting to a squeeze bottle and flood the cookies. Again, use the toothpick to help pop bubbles and guide the frosting.
• Step 26
  For the touchdown cookies:
• Step 27
  Allow the green frosting to dry fully and then pipe a white line around with a #1 tip.
• Step 28
  Put the red sprinkles on the white part and shake off the excess sprinkles. Carefully pipe the word "Touchdown" with the #1 tip.
• Step 29
  For the fans: instead of flooding the cookies, pipe white or green frosting over the cookies and pour nonpareil sprinkles over the frosting.
• Step 30
  This way when you shake off the excess sprinkles, wet frosting won't come with them.
• Step 31
  Putting it together: Place the yard lines together going from 10 to 50 and back down to 10 again.
• Step 32
  Place the fans on either sides of the field and the touchdown zones and each side.
• Step 33
  Place footballs around the scene.
