A geode is the inside of a rock that is lined with crystals. Bakers and bakeries are decorating cookies to look like geodes, often with rock candy and edible glitter.

Geode Sugar Cookies: I love making beautiful desserts that taste as good as they look. Geode cakes have been a popular trend for weddings and special events, so I decided to try the same concept to make cookies. These are relatively simple to make, yet stunning and sure…
Remember the geode cakes we wrote about last year? They were a huge hit and the Internet was obsessed, so this time we present to you - geode sweets.
These watercolor crystal cookies were inspired by a box from sendacake.com that I ordered for a friend's birthday. Watch the video tutorial!

We interviewed the creative genius behind the crystal cookies that have taken Instagram by storm.
Agates and geodes are just about everywhere these days. I see them as bookends, coasters (these particular cookies were inspired by agate coasters at West Elm), jewelry, and cakes. They are all so distinct and beautiful I knew I wanted to make them into cookies. The good news is that these agate slice cookies are actually pretty easy to make! The cookie shape doesn't have to be perfect (actually, the less perfect the better), no piping is necessary, and your lines don't have to be straight! Of course, I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe to make these cookies. I started with a circle cookie then tore off the edges to make that rough jagged edge. Then instead of piping the royal icing on top, I actually dipped the cookies into the icing. Not only is it easier and quicker, I actually prefer it for this these cookies because the icing goes all the way to the edge and gets into all the little nooks and crannies along the edge. Once the icing dried, I painted the cookies with food coloring gel diluted with a bit of alcohol (I used vodka, but you can also use almond extract) in various shades of the same color. So you can see I have a purple agate slice cookie with different shades of purple and pink, a blue in various shades of blue and turquoise, green in various shades of green and teal....you get the gist. I finished off the cookies with a gold edge and a little bit of gold painted around the layers of the cookie. I think the gold really helps make the cookies look even more like an actual agate slice. What do you think!? They are almost as pretty as those coasters, but better because you can eat it!

Who do you want to be, a baker or a designer? To this question, Holly Fox would answer "both". To her, it's when you mix and match, that something interesting happens, and in this case, it's not only interesting but also tasty!
