Cornhole Cookies

Cornhole. Bag Toss. Bags. Tailgate Toss. 
However you call it, this outdoor game is a staple at BBQs, campgrounds, and tailgate parties across the country. This fun game is great for kids and adults alike, and you can even customize your Cornhole boards and bags. Speaking of customized Cornhole boards, how about some custom COOKIE Cornhole boards and bags to sweeten game day? Using some simple cookie cutters, with a small tweak, you can earn bragging rights and win the day with your own Cornhole cookies!
​
Do you notice what cutter I used for the Cornhole boards? I used the top hat/bread slice cutter from the Sweet Sugarbelle Shape Shifter 2 set. Don't own this set? Try a different top hat or bread cutter like this one from The Flour Box. Want to go for mini boards? Try the mini hat/bread cutter is from Sweet Sugarbelle Mini Shape Shifters Set Two. The process of trimming the cookie dough before baking will be the same. The final cookie doesn't have to be the exact proportions of a real Cornhole board. It can be a playful spin to get the impression of the board.

​I made these boards as a 2-tone wood grain, but you can decorate them however you like! The boards provide a great base for a wet-on-wet decorating technique or an airbrushed stencil once dry.

What you'll need: 
* your favorite roll-out cookie recipe
* top hat/bread slice cutter to make the boards
* small rectangle or square cutter (I used a .75"x1.25" cutter) to make the corn bag cookies
* bagged royal icing in the following colors/consistencies:
     black (just a little bit!): thick consistency icing OR black food marker
     ivory: 20 second
     light brown: 20 second
     Corn bag colors (I used red and blue): 20 second
* scribe tool or toothpick
2-Tone Wood Grain Icing Bag:  Pipe a small line of brown icing inside a new icing bag. Fill the remainder of the bag with ivory and clip/tie shut. When piping with this bag, keep the stripe facing up so that the line is visible. Viola, 2-toned icing!

 Let's Decorate!
1. Make your cookie dough. Roll and cut out two of the hat shapes for each Cornhole board sets. Use the edge of the cutter to trim off one of the brims on one of the cookies. The remaining brim will become the leg of the board. Now trim off the opposite​ brim on the other hat cookie to make shapes that mirror one another. Bake as directed.

2. Cut out your cookie corn bags. You'll need 8 for every 2 Cornhole boards. I used a small rectangle cutter and cut the rectangles in half. Pinch in the edges with your fingers before baking to give them a "pillow" kind of look. Bake as directed.

3. After your cookies are baked and cooled, get your decorating tools ready. I used a food marker to mark the lines on the baked cookie.

4. Smear black icing or color the cookie with the marker where the hole of the board will go. Use the scribe tool to mark the margins of the hole.

5. Pipe the light brown icing along the edge of the board and the one side of the hole. Let this section crust over.

6. While waiting for the light brown icing to dry, flood the corn bags. You'll need four of each color, for a total of 8 bags for every two Cornhole boards. Let the corn bags dry.

7. Flood the wood grain portion of the board. Hold the striped icing bag so that the stripe is facing up. Starting at one side of the board, pipe the icing in side-by-side/parallel lines. Use a scribe tool to push icing into any gaps and gently wiggle the cookie to smooth out the icing. Pipe the leg of the board with the same icing. That's it!

These Cornhole cookies make great additions to the dessert table at your next outdoor gathering. Maybe they'll help you to score an ace, cornhole, or even a gusher!  
(Yes, those are real Cornhole scoring terms)

Even if you don't win the Cornhole game, you'll win the dessert game!

This fun game, great for both kids and adults, is a mainstay at BBQ parties, campgrounds, and carnival parties around the country. I'm thinking of not knowing when I can join in with these difficult times.

    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.
