Make the doors look like they came from a castle or from little fairies...
Enjoy!
*** I used red licorice (pull apart kind) for door knobs, hinges and some outlining of doors.
*** I used chocolat candy rocks/stones outlining of some of the doors. (I just love the candy rocks... they are like a rustic m&M candy)

How to Make Fairy Door or Princess Door Cookies!
- Preheat oven according to your cookie recipe directions.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. - Make your cookie dough. Cut our doors with bottom and both sides cut straight... and the top of the door rounded. Cut them about 2 x 3 inches.
Make uneven sides and a crooked top that comes to a point.
Make a castle, with a fun looking door.
Make different shaped doors.
Place doors on baking sheet. And bake as directed in your recipe. Remove from oven and let cool completely. - Make your icing. Make light brown frosting, black frosting. (you need a lot of the light brown... very little black)
(or just buy chocolate frosting and add black food coloring to a little of it)
*** You can make up as many colors as you like and get as fancy as you like. - Spread the brown frosting to cover the cookie front, Using a knife Make verticle lines on the frosting to create "panels of wood" on the doors.
Using the black frosting, make the door enhancements like door handles, hinges and door knockers. - These are perfect to serve at a little girl's birthday party with a fairy theme or princess theme.
- *** With the optional colors, you can make more enhancements to the doors, like tiny flowers and green leaves and vines.
