When I make a batch of cookie dough, I often have a little bit left over. With the extra dough, I usually make a few random shapes to decorate when I have free time. Un-iced, the cookies store very well in the freezer. When I saw SweetAmb’s ombre cookie tutorial, I knew I wanted to try to make some ombre-style cookies, but in my own way, using a few stashed cookies from the freezer.
Instead of varied shades of icing, I decided to make an ombre effect using colored sugars. I love the effect, especially on a round cookie!
A brief tutorial, after the jump.
