Planning a wedding shower? These little Engagement Ring Sugar Cookies would look so cute on the dessert table.

I almost didn’t post these sugar cookies. It all goes back to me thinking, “you know you’re now the BEST cookie decorator out there, why are you posting these” kinda mind set.

However I just had to shove that back into the back of my mind because these little Engagement Ring Sugar Cookies needed to be shared. 

 

Engagement Ring Sugar Cookies

I made these for Adam and Meghan’s wedding shower to go along with the Mason Jar Cookies, Cowboy Cookies and Wedding Dress Cookies! We set them out with the desserts and people loved them!

I just want to show you that it doesn’t take a professional baker to make cute little desserts for parties.

I bought the engagement ring cookie cutter from LMCreativeDesigns on Etsy

Then I used my favorite cookie dough recipes and icing recipe from the blog to make the cookies.

Just like with the mason jar cookies, I bought my silver luster dust at Hobby Lobby but you can also find it on here on amazon. Now with the luster dust, DON’T mix it with water! You need to mix it in a shallow dish with a few drops of drinking alcohol or extract.

I used this Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract because that’s what I had in my pantry. Vanilla extract would be good too! Once you mix it into a “paint”, you’ll just use a clean paint brush to brush it on wherever you want silver shimmer.

For these engagement rings, I just painted the silver luster onto the ring part of cookie.

Engagement Ring Sugar Cookies

  • Yield: about 40 cookies

Ingredients

For Cookies

  • 6 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Icing

  • 6 ounces warm water
  • 5 tablespoons meringue powder (I get mine from Hobby Lobby)
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 pounds of powdered sugar
  • 1 -2 black food coloring
  • Silver Luster Dust (optional)

Instructions

For the Cookies

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs on at a time and then add the vanilla. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients and add a little at a time to butter mixture.
  • Mix until flour is completely incorporated and the dough comes together.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 to 2 hours. (I normally stick mine in the freezer over night)
  • Roll cookies out to about 1/4 inch thickness (thicker or thinner depending on your preference)
  • Cut out using an ring cookie cutter
  • Bake on un-greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Lay them on a wire rack to cool

For Icing:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water and the meringue powder. Mix for about 30 seconds or until frothy.
  • Add in the cream of tartar and mix for 30 seconds more.
  • Pour in all the powdered sugar.
  • Using the paddle attachment on the LOWEST speed, mix slowly for a full 10 minutes.
  • Icing will get thick and creamy.

To decorate:

  • Scoop out half of the white icing into a medium bowl.
  • Scoop out 1/2 of the remaining white icing into a medium bowl and add in the black food coloring. Mix well to make gray.
  • Fill a piping bag, fitted with a #5 piping tip, with some of the white icing. Sit aside.
  • Fill a piping bag, fitted with a #5 piping tip, with a little bit of the gray icing. Sit aside.
  • You\'ll use these to pipe your outlines.
  • Using the gray icing draw the outline of the ring on the baked cookie.
  • Use the white icing to pipe the outline of the diamond.
  • Now in stir a little warm water into the white bowl of icing until the white icing is \"pour-able\".
  • Using a spoon or a filled squeeze bottle, filling the white part of the diamond with white icing. Using a spoon or a tooth pick to pull the icing to fill the entire area.
  • Do the same with the gray icing and fill the ring with icing.
  • Let the icing dry for 1 hour.
  • Use the white icing in the piping bag to draw little the detail on the diamond part of the ring.
  • Let cookies dry completely (for a few hours).
  • If using the luster dust, once the cookies are dry, mix a a teaspoon of the silver luster dust with a few drops of vanilla extract.
  • Mix until it forms a very thin paint. Use a clean paint brush (that\\\'s NEVER been use for paint), and brush on to the ring part of the cookie.
  • Let dry over night for a \"stack able cookie\"
  • Print
