The Epic Sugar Cookie Project

I promised months ago to post about my sugar cookie project. It turned out to be epic, and then I went out of town a few days later for an extended trip. Anyways...

Back in June, both the Army and the Army Corps of Engineers celebrated their 235th birthdays. To celebrate, Matt and I made sugar cookies for his entire office, plus some extras to send to his supervisors.

This is the Corps of Engineers logo:













I found a similarly-shaped cookie cutter and used them to make sugar cookies. These things were HUGE!
















Multiply that by one hundred and something... laid out on the dining room table. The frosting takes FOREVER to dry!





And then we packaged up a few sets to send to DC. The rest went to Matt's office.
















Of course, a few cookies suffered from snapped-off towers, which turned them into "taste test" cookies for quality assurance purposes. :-) It mostly turned out well, except that a lot of people in Matt's office didn't recognize the castle... they thought the cookies were E's for Engineers. It was a good project, but we probably won't attempt anything like this on the 100+ scale ever again.
