I wish I liked football. I do! I wish I could be one of those cool girls who wears a football jersey and cheers when they all run one way and boos when they run the other way, and knows what “offsides” means. But I’m not. I’m an annoying girly girl who has had football explained to her 3,000 times and still doesn’t get it.
Therefore, to me, Superbowl Sunday is all about the snacks. This year, I made tiny football-shaped gingerbread cookies. I used my famous gingerbread recipe, which is actually Martha’s famous gingerbread recipe, but I like to take the credit. I chose that particular cookie because, doy, they are brown. I piped on royal-icing laces.
I couldn’t actually find a football-shaped cookie cutter, so I bought an oval fondant cutter instead. I wanted tiny cookies anyway, and I think it looks football-ish enough.
My royal icing used meringue powder instead of egg whites so I wouldn’t kill anyone. As you can see from the picture, my piping skills leave something to be desired, but whatever, this wasn’t Food Network Challenge.
In other news, I went to the store today to pick up some Valentine’s candy and saw they had a full Easter display instead. WHAT. I love Easter candy, but I’m not ready! I still have jellybeans from last year!
