How to Decorate a Typewriter Cookie

Posted by Anne Narber on Friday, January 20, 2017

When I learned how to type in high school...it was on a typewriter! That seems so foreign now. I think the typewriters were replaced the year after I took that class. But it was the most practical class I had in school. The skills I learned from that class I have used every day since. 

Making a typewriter has been on my list for a few years. I am so excited to finally cross it off my list!

Here's the video tutorial on how to make these cookies using a purse cutter...

I think the biggest thing to set off this design is to trim the cookie at the top before baking. This will create a squared top for the edge of the typewriter paper.

This is the purse cutter used to create this cookie.

Also featured in this video is the fine point black food marker. It is available in a 2-pen set and a 10-pen set.

Before we go, I also wanted to mention that the new cutter set from LilaLoa is now available!
