Emojis have taken over the language of texting. Instead of sending LOL, you can use a smiley face or a laughing Emoji. Instead of sending your love, you can just send a heart. You can turn these funny faces into cookies to dazzle your friends and family by making sugar cookies as a base and using royal icing to decorate them.

[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Baking Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to . Turn your oven on before you start mixing your ingredients, so it will be ready for your cookies. Keep it at so your cookies bake to the perfect consistency.[1]
- Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Mix together 1 cup (227 g) of softened butter and 1.5 cups (300 g) of granulated sugar with a baking spatula. Mix them together until they make a smooth mixture.[2]
- If you have a store-bought sugar cookie mix, you can use that instead.
- Beat in 1 egg and vanilla extract. Crack 1 large egg into the bowl and make sure there are no egg shells. Pour in of vanilla extract and stir your mixture until it is smooth.[3]
- Use imitation vanilla extract for a cheaper option.
- Blend in flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add 2.75 cups (398 g) of flour, 1 tsp (13 g) of baking soda, and 1/2 tsp (6.5 g) of baking powder to your bowl. Stir them in gradually with a baking spatula until your mixture is combined and makes a soft dough.[4]
- Try not to overmix your dough, or you could cause your dough to become more dense.
- Roll out your dough with a rolling pin. Pour a thin layer of flour out on a countertop or cutting board. Use a rolling pin to spread your dough out until it is about thick.[5]
- Using flour helps the dough become less sticky and roll out smoother.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out circles, hearts, and other Emoji shapes. Place a few different cookie cutter shapes, like circles and hearts to make shapes for your Emojis. Cut out all of your shapes until you run out of dough.[6]
- Circles are great for Emoji faces, and you can even use the top of a Christmas tree cookie cutter to make the poo Emoji.
- Add small horns to the top of a circle cookie to make a devil Emoji shape.
- Use a unicorn outline cookie cutter for a cute unicorn Emoji.
- Lay your cookies out on a cookie sheet. Gently pull your shapes up and out of the dough. Lay them out on a baking tray with about in between each cookie.[7]
- Since sugar cookies have a lot of butter in them, you don’t need to grease your baking tray.
- Bake your cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. Set your cookies on the middle rack of your oven and take them out when they are hard around the edges. Make sure your cookies don’t get too brown, or they could burn.[8]
- Take your cookies out and let them cool. Set your baking tray on your stove top to let your cookies cool down. Wait for about 1 hour or until they get to room temperature.[9]
- If you have a cooling rack, use a spatula to transfer them there to make them cool down faster.
[Edit]Adding a Frosting Base
- Make a batch of royal icing. Combine 4 cups (500 g) of confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons (30 g) of meringue powder, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of vanilla extract, and of water in a mixing bowl. Mix them up until you have smooth and creamy frosting.[10]
- If you have an electric mixer, you can use that to combine your ingredients quickly.
- Add 1 drop of food coloring to small portions of icing. Separate your icing batch into 5 to 6 small, equal portions. Add yellow, pink, red, brown, and black food coloring to 1 bowl of frosting at a time, and leave 1 pure white. Mix together your food coloring and frosting to create bright, vibrant colors.[11]
- If you aren’t planning on making a poo Emoji, you don’t need any brown frosting.
- Put your frosting into piping bags. Use a baking spatula to spoon different frosting colors into piping bags. Cut the tip off of each bag for a small hole that your frosting can come out of.[12]
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can make your own by stapling together parchment paper in a triangle.
- Make a yellow base on each circle cookie. Draw a yellow outline in frosting around the edge of each circle cookie. Use the frosting to fill in the circle and then let it sit for 10 minutes to harden.[13]
- Letting the frosting harden makes it a better base so it won’t blend with your other colors.
- You can also use a purple base for a devil Emoji cookie, or a white base for a unicorn cookie.
- Decorate your heart cookies with pink or red frosting. Pipe an outline of frosting around the edges of each heart cookie. Use the same frosting to fill in the insides of the heart, and then let your cookies sit for at least 10 minutes.[14]
- Add brown frosting to your poo Emoji cookie. Use brown frosting in a piping bag to make a thin outline around your Christmas tree cookie. Then, fill in the middle with the brown frosting and let your cookie sit for 10 minutes.[15]
[Edit]Piping the Details of Your Cookies
- Add a white mouth and closed eyes for the smiling emoji. Pipe a rectangular outline near the bottom of a yellow circle cookie and fill it in with white frosting. Use black frosting to create a grid of top and bottom teeth inside the mouth. Then, draw 2 closed eyes in a half moon shape up above for a cute, happy Emoji.[16]
- This is one of the simplest face Emojis to decorate.
- Pipe black sunglasses and a smile for the sunglasses Emoji. Outline thin black sunglasses near the top of a circle cookie. Fill in each lens so they are completely black. Then, pipe a thin smiling mouth underneath the glasses. Let your cookie dry for 10 minutes.[17]
- Add white eyes and a smile to your poo Emoji. Pipe 2 small ovals near the top of your poo Emoji cookie. Use the same white frosting to make a smiling mouth underneath the eyes. Then, add 2 small black dots on the eyes to make pupils and let your cookie dry for about 10 minutes.[18]
- Draw a red heart onto a kissing face for the kissing Emoji. Pipe 1 full eye and 1 winking eye at the top of a yellow circle cookie. Use the same black frosting to make a mouth by drawing a 3 on your cookie. Then, pipe a small red heart near the mouth and fill it in completely. Let your cookie dry for 10 minutes before you serve it.[19]
- You can also add eyebrows to this Emoji to make it more realistic.
- Add blue tears to the laughing Emoji. Pipe 2 eyes in half moon shapes to look like they are closed. Add some raised eyebrows in black above each eye. Use white and black frosting to pipe an open, smiling mouth with a line of white teeth. Then, use blue frosting to pipe 2 large blue tears coming out of the eyes of your Emoji.[20]
- The laughing Emoji is one of the most easily recognizable Emojis.
- Use hearts for eyes for the heart-eyes Emoji. Pipe 2 small hearts in the place of eyes near the top of a yellow circle cookie. Add a simple black mouth that is smiling underneath the eyes for a cute, easily recognizable heart-eyes cookie.[21]
- You can also use large heart sprinkles for the eyes if you have them.
- Decorate a purple cookie with a mean face for the devil Emoji. Draw 2 circular black eyes in the middle of your cookie and put some thick black eyebrows that point downward on top. You can make your devil Emoji smile with a happy face or angry with a frowny face for an evil-looking cookie.[22]
- Since there are 2 devil Emojis, you can choose whichever one you want to make, or even do them both.
- Pipe a small rainbow onto a circle cookie for a rainbow Emoji. Take a blank cookie and use red, yellow, blue, and green to pipe the lines of a rainbow in the center. Use white frosting to make clouds on either side of the emoji, or leave it blank for a more realistic rainbow.[23]
- Add some edible glitter on top of your cookie for an added sparkle.
