How to Make Tie Dye Cookies with a Salad Spinner
Posted by OXO Australia on 20th Jun 2022
Tie dye sugar cookies come together quickly with the help of an unlikely friend.
While people primarily use our award-winning OXO Salad Spinner to dry lettuce and other leafy greens, we like it for more than just salad. What about taking sugar cookies for a spin?
With a little dye, a Salad Spinner and blank canvases (sugar cookies), you can make gorgeous, buttery, sugary works of edible art that would make Pollack proud. Read on for our tie dye cookie tutorial.
Start by making a batch of plain sugar cookies and frosting. Important note: We recommend making the cookies on the bigger side so they fit snugly in the Salad Spinner. Our cookies are about 4 - 5 inches in diameter after baking (we rolled out our dough and traced around a 2-cup prep bowl to size them correctly). Because the cookies are so big, you might want to double or tripple the recipe. You can also use our Little Salad and Herb Spinner to make smaller cookies
Short on time? Use premade cookie dough and frosting. We'll never tell.
Spin Art Instructions:
1. Let your cookies completely cool. then spread a thin, even layer of frosting.
2. Add a dab of frosting to the bottom of your cookie - this works like an adhesive to keep the cookie in place while spinning.
3. Secure cookie into the colander and then place in spinner bowl.
4. Drip a little bit of the thinned coloured icing or a few drops of food colouring onto the cookie.
5. Replace lid.
6. Pump it a few times to spin the colander.
7. Carefully remove cookie.
8. Enjoy!
