Irish Clover Celtic Knot Green Cookies by Gretchen Thomas

Hi, Gretchen Thomas, Congrats on making your first post. I look forward to many more to come!

Thank you so much for such a fun AND challenging activity. This is my first time making Royal Icing. I've only ever used the store bought icing for children's ginger bread kits. I tried Julia Usher's cookie recipe, but severely mis-measured the flour, so I just ended up using my mom's old rolled whites recipe (which is basically pie crust with 1/4 c sugar). This challenge was an excellent diversion for me that I could tackle 10 minutes at a time over the last few weeks. Thank you again for considering my entry. 

It's me again - this time in person! Great job! And we always love seeing first-time challenge entrants. I hope this is the first of many more entries and challenges to come!

Very pretty! 💚

So beautiful! ❤

First time, Gretchen?? Amazing work!! Congratulations 👏👏❤️

Congratulations on your first Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge entry! I CANNOT believe this set represents so many cookie firsts for you! It is really terrific, and I do hope you will keep at it, because your cookie decorating is going places! Mark my word. As for this entry, let me say, that as much as I love white-on-white sets, I was so thrilled to se this bright emerald green! I like your mixed use of piping and stencils, and stacking the smaller cookies on the larger ones really gave this set good depth. Again, thank you for entering the challenge. I hope we will see many more cookies from you in the near future!

Thank you! It was very fun for me to find this cookie community. Thank you for the encouragement. I’m looking forward to getting those creative juices flowing when the next practice challenge is announced.
