Dine talk: Cookie decorating

Published 3:38 pm Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Decorating cookies with youngsters is an iconic holiday event, so why not let Seattle’s Icon Grill lend a hand?

Today, a favorite Icon Grill treat returns to the menu: “build your own” holiday cookies ($7.95). Unadorned gingerbread men and rich, buttery sugar cookies are presented with a variety of colorful, tasty toppings that guests can add to their hearts’ content.

In December, executive chef Nick Musser extends the fun by offering a free cookie-decorating party for kids. While kids create culinary masterpieces, parents are invited to relax and snack on complimentary appetizers.

The party will be from 2 to 3 p.m. Dec. 14 at Icon Grill, 1933 Fifth Ave., Seattle. Call 206-441-6330 for reservations.
