I decided I wanted to make some super cute sugar cookies, but I wasn't up for the idea of trying to make things work with piping decorations on my cookies, and finding cute shapes to cut out.
So, I went with the easy route of plain circle cookies, and tried my hand at Royal icing!
I must say this was so fun and easy, that I don't think I'll ever frost sugar cookies any other way again!
After doing a little bit of searching on Google and different blogs, and watching several YouTube videos, I finally found a Royal icing recipe I liked from SweetSugarBelle. It didn't taste so great though, so next time I'm going to use more almond extract as flavoring.
I had my little helper with me, and we got busy rolling out dough and cutting circles.
And then we waited until they all baked and cooled before we got busy decorating!
I went and bought these cute little bottles at WalMart for three bucks, and they were perfect for the Royal flood icing method.
Then I just went to town! I came up with random little swirly's and polka dots in these cute colors.
When they dried over night, I was able to stack them on plates and take them around to friends around town. Everyone loved them, and I have definitely found a new way to decorate my sugar cookies!
Thanks for reading!
