Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti Cookies

Lady and the Tramp is still one of my all time favorite Disney movies! I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up watching Disney movies regularly or if it’s the Spaghetti dinner at Tony’s, whatever it is, I still love watching the movie today!

So of course, I knew we had to try to recreate that iconic moment from the movie with some yummy Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti Cookies!

 

Of course if you making these cookies, you definitely have to pick up the movie to watch!

Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti Cookies

*Makes 24 cookies

Ingredients

1 C unsalted sweet cream butter
1 1/2 C powder sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 1/2 C flour
1 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp baking soda

Supplies:

1 circle cookie cutter
1 cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper

Royal icing:

3 egg whites
1 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp vanilla
4 C powder sugar
Red and ivory food coloring
1 package of Ferrero Rocher’s

Supplies:

3 disposable piping bag fitted with a number 2 tip
1 squeeze bottle

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, powder sugar, vanilla and egg together until creamy and combined.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cream of tarter and baking soda

Gradually mix in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined and a dough forms

Once the dough is formed, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of flour onto a cutting board and place the dough onto the cutting board.

Sprinkle some flour onto the cookie dough and roll out the dough to about 2 inches thick

Cut out your cookies and place onto the cookie sheet

Bake your cookies for about 8 minutes

Let them cool completely

Royal icing directions:

Using a stand mixer, combine all ingredients and mix on medium to high speed until thick and stiff with peaks about 6-7 minutes

If your icing looks like yellow soup, add another cup of powder sugar

Once your icing is made, scoop some white icing into one piping bag and set aside

Scoop some more icing into a bowl and add in about 2 – 3 tbsp water and mix until combined.

Pour into squeeze bottle and set aside

Scoop some icing, about 3/4 up, into a bowl and add ivory food coloring, about 2-3 drops and mix until combined. You want a light ivory color comparable to pasta noodles

Scoop the ivory icing into piping bag

Using the remaining icing, add in red food coloring and mix until combined. Add in a few more drops of red food coloring to get the shade you want.

Scoop a small amount into the piping bag and set aside

Decorating directions:

Using the white icing in the piping bag, pipe a line around the edges of the cookies and fill in with the white squeeze bottles.

Let cookies completely harden over night before adding your pasta

Once your cookies are dry, using the ivory piping bag pipe out noodles by holding the piping bag 1 inch up from the cookie that way when you squeeze the bag, the icing will come out in strings and fall onto the cookie. Make sure to move your hand to position where you want the noodles to be.

Let the first layer of noodles dry for an hour before putting on the second layer.

Once the second layer is one wait another hour.

Once that hour is up, pipe out a glob of red icing onto the pasta for pasta sauce.

Cut your chocolate in half and place into the middle of the red icing for your meatballs.

Let cookies dry for another hour before enjoying!
