How To Make Football Cookies

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Tape down the sides and ends of the wax paper to the cookie sheet.

Using a double boiler melt the chocolate melts. Stir often until all of the chocolate is melted.

With a fork, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate. If necessary, use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the entire cookie – both front and back.

Place the dipped chocolate cookies on the lined cookie sheet. Allow them to dry completely (about 20+ minutes).

Royal Icing Decorating: 

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl mixing on medium speed for 4 minutes. If icing isn’t stiff enough, you’ll want to add 1/4 cup powder sugar until stiff. Spoon the icing into piping bags using a #2 tip.

Following the examples in the picture use the icing to make lines on each end of the cookies. Draw the lines in a curved shape – not just a straight line. In the center of the cookie, draw a short line and then cross this line with three small lines. Allow to dry completely.
