Once your cookies have cooled down completely, pour spoonfuls of melted white chocolate on top of half batch of your cookies and let it harden and set (usually takes about ⏱️ 5-10 minutes).

Fill your piping bag with green icing and attach Tip # 233. Position your green piping bag near the top of the cookie. Hold your piping bag at a 45 degree angle. Squeeze your bag and quickly pull away. And you will end up with “grassy” icing.
