I blame it on living in Florida, low elevation, humidity, an old oven… a million variables that I can’t change.
I first tried to use the cookie cutter with the cookies upside down but found that having the cookies right side up at the start worked out much better.
Because I was going from pink to red, I could use the left over pink and the same bowl.
Instead of dipping the second side, I used a spatula and was able to spread the red on… that was easier for this portion of the process, then immediately added sprinkles.
