DIY SERVPRO Holiday Cookies!
12/7/2017 (Permalink)
I wanted to come up with something creative and heartfelt for my clients this holiday season. So I decided to bake cookies. What says we appreciate you more than homemade cookies? Homemade SERVPRO cookies of course!
To share the love with my fellow marketers I am posting a how to guide. Don't be discouraged though. You can use any design or color with my quick sugar cookie method.
You start off with your favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe. Remember most will require a chill time. I added a link to the one I used. It turned out great and the dough only needs to chill for an hour. The only thing I did differently is use lemon extract instead of almond, and of course I added food coloring.

I chose orange for my dough. It took about 20 drops. Some of the color will bake out, and you do not want them to end up looking brown. To avoid this make sure dough is brightly colored. It will fade some. Use gel coloring to avoid changing the consistency of the dough. You want to add the coloring after all other ingredients are combine. I kneaded mine in.
After your dough has chilled it is time to cut your houses out. I could not find a cutter the shape I wanted so I cut one out of thin cardboard. It worked great, but is more time consuming.
Then you bake. Mine were in the oven for about 7 min.
After they are completely cooled. It is time to decorate.
I used a squeeze bottle for my border, and letters. I then used a sparkling green gel, and sprinkles for my lights. It takes a steady hand. My advice is to do it quick and steady. That helps to avoid breaks in the pattern.
What I would change?
I would use royal icing instead of creamy. It holds better and isn't as messy.
They may not be the prettiest, but they are from the heart, and taste delicious!

When I first came to SERVPRO I had no idea how much we actually do. On top of fire and water restoration, and our mold mitigation services. We offer several different cleaning services and cleanups. This makes every day, every job different here. Our technicians literally learn something new everyday. They also learn how to interact with all types of people. Home and business owners are usually not in the best of spirits when we arrive, but our goal is to put at least one smile on their face before we leave. We help people in their time of need, and put forth full effort in helping them put their properties back together again.
