  • Using a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

  • Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board and roll out the cookie dough to about 1/4in thickness.
  • Cut out the Mickey Mouse shapes and place onto the cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.

  • Using the rest of the white icing, mix in a few drops of green gel food coloring and scoop the icing into the third piping bag with #68 tip.
