- Bright and Colorful: Use bright and bold colors like yellow, orange, pink, and green to create a fun summer vibe. Add some sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra pop of color.
- Beach Theme: Create a beach scene on your cookies with blue icing for water, graham cracker crumbs for sand, and mini umbrellas or palm trees for decoration.
- Ice Cream Sandwiches: Decorate your cookies to look like ice cream sandwiches using chocolate and vanilla icing. Add some colorful sprinkles to make them extra fun.
- Fruit Shapes: Cut out cookie dough into fruit shapes like watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries. Decorate with the appropriate colors and patterns.
- Floral Designs: Use flower-shaped cookie cutters and decorate with different colored frosting and floral patterns for a beautiful summer garden vibe.
- Outdoor Adventures: Create cookies shaped like camping tents, hiking boots, or kayaks, then decorate with outdoor scenery like mountains and trees.
