I can not tell you how over the moon I was to receive these amazing jadeite inspired cookie cutters from Amador’s Craft Kits! They are the perfect shape of the famous Fireking jadeite ball pitcher and Fireking jadite D-ring mug. He also included an adorable pyrex cookie cutter set too! You can find all of his amazing craft sets here!
Now with the most amazing cookie cutters, I had to craft the best sugar cookie and jadeite icing combo to give these cuties justice. This is one of my favorite sugar cookie recipes. I love that you don’t have to refrigerate the dough, so you can make it, cut, and bake them right away!
As far as icing, I truly hit the jackpot. I used a basic royal icing. The first icing tint I made was a horrible neon green, but the second try was a PERFECT match. It was pure luck! They magic recipe for this sweet jadeite colored icing was using this gel icing set. To achieve the jadeite color use 2 drops of lemon and 1 drop of sky blue. You’re welcome!
So if you are looking to lift your jadeite spirits, have a retro party, or just create a fun vintage inspired treat, these are the cookie cutters for you!
