These cookies are perfect for a baseball birthday party or a game-day celebration. The how-to is easy, and the end result is sure to be a home run with family and friends.

What You’ll Need

To make these baseball jersey cookies, you will need:
-A football-shaped cookie cutter
-Red, white, and blue icing
-A piping bag or Ziploc bag
-Scissors
-Red and blue star sprinkles

Making the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until everything is combined.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheets. Use your hand to slightly flatten each ball of dough. Place the baking sheets in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (this helps the cookies keep their shape while baking).

Preheat oven to 350F degrees and remove the baking sheets from the fridge. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Shaping the Cookies

To shape the cookies, first roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Next, using a floured fork, press the balls of dough down onto an ungreased baking sheet, making sure to press evenly so that the cookies are about 1/4-inch thick. Be careful not to press too hard or the cookies will be tough. Finally, using a floured fork, make a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.

Decorating the Cookies

Use decorating icing to pipe the laces onto the cookies. You can use white or a color that coordinates with the team’s colors. Start at the neck of the jersey and pipe laces down the center of the cookie. Make sure to leave enough space at the bottom for the player’s name and number. Once you have piped all of the laces, you can add the player’s name and number with either a piping tip or a toothpick.

Baking the Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.

Storing the Cookies

Once you’ve made your cookies, it’s important to store them properly so they stay fresh and delicious. Here are some tips on how to store your baseball jersey cookies:

-Wrap the cookies individually in plastic wrap or store them in a sealable bag.
-If you’re not planning on eating them right away, freeze the cookies for up to three months.
-To thaw, let the frozen cookies sit at room temperature for about an hour before enjoying.

First, start with a sugar cookie dough or recipe. If you’re short on time, you can also use a store-bought dough. Next, use a small round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Make sure to flour your surface and Rolling Pin before cutting to prevent the dough from sticking.

Once you have your circle cut-outs, it’s time to add the details that will make your cookie look like a baseball jersey For the body of the jersey, we recommend using a piping bag fitted with a star tip. You can also use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Simply pipe stripes onto the cookie in your team colors If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a toothpick or other sharp object to create stripes by hand.

Next, add numbers to the center of each cookie using fondant or icing in contrasting colors. You can purchase pre-made fondant or make your own using this recipe. If you’re using icing, we recommend using gel food coloring so the colors are brighter and more vibrant.

Finally, add player names and team logos using edible markers or food-safe paint pens. Let your cookies dry completely before serving. Enjoy!
