Basketball Sugar Cookies

These are some basketball sugar cookies I made for the last game of the season.

To decorate with this design, start by piping orange piping icing around the border of the cookies with a #2 tip.

Then fill in the centers with with flood-consistency icing.

Let the flooded cookies dry overnight.


Then pipe black lines with piping-consistency icing.

Let the piped cookies dry for several hours, until the icing is hard.


Cookies are dry when they are no longer shiny.

  1. Very cool! What do you use to color the icing black? Preferred brand of icing colors?

    1. You can get Wilton black food coloring. Start by adding cocoa powder to the icing and then add the Wilton black. I make my own icing.

  3. Nikki - Thanks! Since it was a small amount of black icing, I used a gel food coloring (Americolor black.) For a big area I would use pre-made icing or powdered food coloring (it takes a lot of the gel for it to not look gray). Hope that's helpful!

    Laurel - Just submitted it to your site, thanks for the comment =)

  7. I have a grandson who will be 8 in April ~ he would LOVE these cookies for his birthday party! Thank you much for the great post!

    Two of my other grandsons love hockey but I guess a puck wouldn't make for a cute cookie :)
