Shopping List
Cookie dough
Green, brown, and white icing
Colorful sprinkles
Steps to Make:
Make your cookies using your favorite homemade sugar cookie recipe or use store-bought frozen dough for a quicker option.
To bake the cookies, place circular and/or oval-shaped portions of dough onto a baking tray, leaving about 2 inches between each to keep them from spreading together.
Bake the cookies in the oven according to your recipe’s instructions.
Let the cookies cool, then bring out your icing and decorations.
How to Make Football Cookies:
On each oval-shaped cookie, use brown icing to fill the entire surface, creating the base of your football.
Once the brown icing has set, use white icing to pipe a thin, curved line across the upper-middle of each cookie.
Draw two more curved lines with the white icing along the sides of each cookie.
Continue using the white icing to pipe three small lines across the center curved line to form the football’s laces.
Let the icing set, then serve and enjoy your football cookies!
How to Make Football Stadium Cookies:
On each circular cookie, pipe white icing onto half of the cookie, filling it in to create a semicircle.
Before the icing sets, add a generous layer of colorful sprinkles to fully cover the section, then gently tap the cookie to remove any excess.
With green icing, fill in the other half of each cookie to complete the semicircle.
Once the icing has set, pipe five vertical white lines across the green portion of each cookie to create yard lines.
After all the icing has set, your stadium cookies are ready to enjoy!
That’s it — easy, fun, and delicious football cookies ready for game day!
