Decorating Holiday Cookies with Snoop Dogg
It's just three days before Christmas - I hope you're all in the holiday spirit.
If you follow me on Instagram @MarthaStewart48, you may have seen photos and a brief video showing some of the cookies I decorated for last week's one-hour virtual “tutorial” on cookie baking and decorating with my dear friend, Snoop Dogg. It was so much fun. More than 400-thousand viewers from around the world joined us for the LIVE Zoom corporate event for Salesforce. And the cookies were amazing - all beautifully made by Molly Wenk @moll_doll23, Julie Preis @bakerofblackrock, and Dani Boglivi-Fiori @sweetdanib here on the East Coast, and on the West Coast, by Jess Damuck @jessdamuck.
Enjoy these photos.
-
- On this day I appeared LIVE from my Bedford, New York farm kitchen. My Winter House counter was filled with holiday decor and interesting cookies such as these two featuring me and my “Potluck Dinner Party” co-host, Snoop Dogg. The cookies were made by @bakerofblackrock.
-
- This cookie shows a fun self portrait captioned: “There’s some ho, ho, hos in this house.”
-
- Snoop’s cookie expertly depicts Snoop on a wreath dedicated to his love for – yes, smoking blunts.
-
- On this end of the counter, more cookies – many of these baked and decorated by @sweetdaniB.
-
- Some of the most memorable cookies were these fun cannabis leaves.
-
- We also had whimsical elves and gingerbread figures. Remember my “4 Ds” when embellishing delicious sugar cookies – dipping, dripping, decorating and drying. I also have a fifth “D” – devouring.
-
- One tip I shared with the group was to always have skewers on hand for the fine detailing on cookies. One can use skewers to fix piping or other decorating mistakes while the icing is still wet.
-
- Here are some of the Christmas trees we made – some decorated with my own Martha Stewart CBD gummies – premium quality, hemp-derived wellness supplements – all made with flavor profiles inspired by some of my most popular recipes.
-
- During the Zoom session, Snoop and I also talked about two of our books – Snoop’s #1 Amazon Bestseller, “From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen” from Chronicle Books and my “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection: 100+ Recipes to Take Your Sweet Treats to the Next Level” from Clarkson Potter – both are available on Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.
-
- In “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection” there are tons of tips and ideas to make all those favorite go-to cookies even better. It introduces new flavors, textures, and techniques, and incorporates equipment that isn’t traditionally used for making cookies.
-
- These are my Flower-Embellished Wreath Cookies from the book – baked by @moll_doll23. These sugar cookies make such an elegant statement when dressed up with glaze and other candies, These include dragees and dots from my CBD gummies.
-
- These are colored green and include finely chopped pistachios. In the recipe, we also use candied ginger, citrus and sugared flowers.
-
- Snoop’s 2018 cookbook “From Crook to Cook” features OG soul food staples like Baked Mac & Cheese and Fried Bologna Sandwiches with Chips, and new takes on classic weeknight favorites such as Soft Flour Tacos and Easy Orange Chicken. It’s such a fun collection of recipes the entire family will love.
-
- I decorated some cannabis leaves with red dots – a humorous take on holly.
-
- And we couldn’t decorate cookies without adding some “Dogg Bones.”
-
- Here I am posing with a box of my CBD Wellness Gummies. My line of CBD products is done in partnership with the world-leading diversified cannabis and hemp company, Canopy Growth Corporation. Some of the flavors include Meyer lemon, kumquat, and blood orange and others.
-
- Snoop joined the event from his home in Los Angeles. Here he is decorating some of his cookies on-camera.
-
- He decorated this full sheet of holiday stars with help from @JessDamuck who has also done lots of work for me here in New York.
-
- And some charming basketball uniformed gingerbread players.
-
- Snoop stopped to show us some of his decorated cookies during the broadcast – great job, Snoop.
-
- It was such a great event. Later, we also took questions from the audience. I hope you are all enjoying these last few days before Christmas! Happy baking, and please stay safe.
