LOVE Sugar Cookie Ingredients:
- 1 package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
Royal Icing Ingredients:
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 8-12 tablespoons room temperature water
- Gel food coloring
LOVE Sugar Cookie Directions:
Combine dough and flour. Roll to ¼” thickness.
Cut out ½” x 3” rectangles. Find the Rectangle Cookie Cutter on Amazon.
Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Royal Icing Directions:
In a stand mixer combine sugar and meringue powder.
Add 8 tablespoons of water, using the whisk attachment, beat for 1 minute on low.
Continue to add water one tablespoon at a time until the icing slowly drizzles from the whisk when lifted.
Once prepared – if the icing is too hard, add more water. Too runny, add more icing sugar.
Separate the icing into small mixing bowls and add desired food coloring. Mix well. Scoop the icing into piping bags or icing bottles.
Decorating instructions:
Line around the edge of the design with icing and fill the middle. Use a toothpick to poke bubbles or direct icing into holes.
Allow each design area to dry before moving on.
The icing should completely dry, at room temperature for at least four hours, before adding piping details to the top.
Polka Dots: before the flooded area dries, add dots of different colored icing.
Hearts: before the flooded area dries, add dots of different colored icing, drag a toothpick through each dot, creating a heart.
Zig zag design: before the flooded area dries, add stripes of different colored icing and then drag a toothpick through the stripes.
Sprinkles: before the flooded area dries, add sprinkles.
Candy: glue to the cookie with a drop of icing.
Edible marker: before using on the icing, allow the icing to completely harden for at least four hours.
