Equipment

  • copier/printer
  • scissors
  • small knife
  • gift box

Ingredients

  • sugar cookie dough
  • royal icing
  • edible markers
  • fondant optional

Instructions

  • EASIEST METHOD - If you don't want to use royal icing, use fondant and edible markers, just like we did for our Father's Day Tie Cookies.
  • MAKE A TEMPLATE - I just put my actual remote in my copier/printer. Once printed, I cut it out to use as a template.

  • CUT OUT YOUR DOUGH. Place your paper remote right on top of your rolled dough and cut it out with a small knife.
  • BAKE. Bake your cookies in the oven, then let them cool completely before decorating them.
  • OUTLINE + FILL . Once your cookies have cooled, outline them with royal icing, then fill them with more icing. Let this dry completely before adding your buttons, otherwise your buttons will sink into the same layer as your base.

  • Make your buttons by copying the design and layout of the button on your remote. (Mine ended up a little off-center, but that's okay!)
  • To decorate the buttons, I used edible markers with a fine tip. These markers write on (dried) royal icing and fondant, really well! You may just want to color all over your cookies!
  • WRAP IT UP. Grab a cookie or treat box and tie it up with a bow. I added some candy to the bottom of my box because it was a
