Baby Diaper Cookies

8/29/2018

 
Picture
Back in 2013, I had a request for baby diaper cookies. I didn't have a diaper cutter, so I hand cut every single diaper cookie for that set. I was very early in my "cookie career", and didn't watermark my cookie pictures at that point. My friend, a contributor to Babycenter.com, wrote an article about my small cookie enterprise and included a picture of those diaper cookies. Although the article is no longer available, the photograph of those diaper cookies was pinned on Pinterest and has been re-pinned many times! You might recognize it from your own search!
Picture
I haven't had a request for baby diaper cookies since then... until now! I was so excited to tackle this design again using cutters I now own, specifically Sugarbelle cookie cutters! This awesome cutter is found in the first collection of Sugarbelle Shape Shifters.
Picture
This cutter, as is, makes an awesome jean pocket cookie, like this one!
Picture
But with a few small modifications, this pocket cutter can make the cutest diaper cookies! To make the diaper cookies, you'll also need the curved trimmer from the Sweet Sugarbelle Shape Shifter set and a bench scraper (or knife).
Picture
What you'll need:
* Pocket cutter AND curved trimmer from Sweet Sugarbelle Shape Shifters Collection, first set.
* bench scraper or sharp straight knife
* royal icing in the following colors and consistencies:
    white: thin flood and 20+ second consistency
    grey: piping consistency
    pink (or other accent color of your choice): piping consistency
* food safe wide paint brush
1. Prepare your favorite roll-out cookie dough.  Use the pocket cutter to make the first cut. Use the curved trimmer to trim the bottom point of the cookie. 
Picture
2. Use the bench scrapper or knife to trim a little from the "waist" of the cookie. Bake the cookie as directed on the recipe. 
Picture
Now that the cookies are baked and cooled, take a look at the sketch to see where we're going with decorating the cookies.
Picture
3. Use a food safe paint brush to apply the white flood consistency to the leg holes of the cookies. ​This thin layer will dry quickly, so you'll be able to move on to the next step in no time.
Picture
4. Use the 20-second white royal icing to fill in the main portion of the diaper cookie. Allow the icing to dry. 
Picture
5. Use the same royal icing (white, 20 second) to create the diaper flaps. Allow to dry.
Picture
6. Use the gray icing to pipe the metal parts of the safety pins. 
Picture

7. Use the pink (or alternative accent color) to pipe the trim on the leg holes and waist, as well as the ends of the safety pins. That's it!
Picture
You know what? This design could easily be turned into other "undergarment" designs! Maybe an alternative diaper design with one large safety pin. Or maybe tightie-whities for a little boy who is being potty trained (yes, I rewarded my boys for their successful potty trips and it worked!), "granny panties" for a friend's milestone birthday (nothing says welcome to your 30's like granny panty cookies LOL!). Lots of options!
Picture
It was great fun to re-create this oldie-but-goodie design, and to replicate the staging of the original photograph from years ago. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to reminisce when my boys were small by using their real baby blankets in this updated staging: 
Picture
Oh. my. heart.

Do you perhaps have the recipe for the biscuit. I am getting ready for my daughters stork tea and with lockdown I can't order. I'll have to do it myself.

    I'm Amy. Wife, Mom, former science teacher- and now full time cookie baker on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Pull up a chair and we'll create!  I'll bring the coffee- maybe Mike (The Cookie Widower) will make it for us.
