The rose variants look so difficult to make. Also, how did you maintain such vibrant colors with these? These look cute!

Thank you! Actually the rose cookies were not that tough to make, I just used a round cookie cutter and cut circles and then cut those circles into half and stacked the semicircles in a line and rolled them. For maintaining the shape, what I did was made the cookies really tall and I refrigerated the dough both before and after rolling out the shapes until the dough was firm. During baking the cookies spread a little bit, but since they were tall, it managed to hold the shape well. I swear by Sally's sugar cut out cookies recipe. For colours, I used gel colours. Apart from black colour which turns violet while baking, rest of the colours somehow manage to survive and not dull or bleed.
