- Make sugar cookies using a candy corn cookie cutter (it's a multi-tasker) and let cool.
Using red royal icing and a #3 tip, pipe the outline of a popcorn box (AmeriColor Super Red).
- With a #2 tip, pipe a wide oval in yellow icing (AmeriColor Egg Yellow).
- With another #2 tip, pipe the outline of popped popcorn above the box in white (add AmeriColor Bright White for extra white).
- Thin the yellow icing with a bit of water, stirring gently until it is the consistency of thick syrup. Let sit several minutes covered with a damp dishtowel (see a video of this process here).
- Gently stir the icing with a rubber spatula to pop any air bubbles that have risen to the surface and transfer to a squeeze bottle.
- Fill in the oval and part of each popcorn piece.
- Thin the white icing in a similar fashion.
- Fill in the popcorn box and the remainder of the popcorn. Swirl the yellow and white icings together on the popcorn.
- Let dry at least 1 hour.
- Using a #5 tip, add wide red stripes to the popcorn boxes.
- Switch to a #2 tip and pipe "POPcorn" in red on the oval.
- Outline the oval in red using the #2 tip.
- Let the cookies dry overnight before packaging.

If you want to make a few individual popcorn pieces to go along with these, check out these too cute cookies from The Decorated Cookie! Is that the cutest idea, or what?
You know what? I made popcorn cookies about 5 years ago and I am so glad to get a chance to update them. Wanna see?
I like this year's version much better!
Have you planned your teacher gifts yet?
