Last week I had someone request the same cookies I had made a long time ago (click here to see those). When I went back to look at those cookies though, I decided that I wanted to update them a bit since I was still quite a beginner when I made them (not that I'm a pro now or anything). She specifically asked for those cookies though, so I didn't want to change them too much.
I decided to use a new technique on the window that I learned from
Montreal Confections where she paints thin icing on the bare cookie. I think I need to practice the technique a bit more, but I thought it gave the windows some nice definition. I also added the minis and the train track cookies to kind of round out the platter. I don't usually do platters, but I really enjoyed Maryann's session on platters during Spring Fling. So, this was my first real attempt at a platter. What do you think?
