I love Christmas. The most popular activity done this time of year is decorating cookies and baking cookies.
I decorated two cookies today : Christmas Ornament and Snowflake. I used sugar cookie recipe and royal icing recipe.
Connie Cakes Christmas Sugar Cookies
1 cup Butter, softned
1 cup Sugar
1 Egg
2 t Vanilla Extract
3 cup flour
Place the butter and sugar in mixing bowl and mix until creamy for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combine.
Add flour and mix until the flour is combined.
Combine the dough together and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling the dough and cutting with cookie cutter.
(This recipe is taken from Wilton website http://www.wilton.com/royal-icing/WLRECIP-50.html
3 tablespoon Wilton meringue powder
4 cups(1 lb) confection sugar
5 tablespoon warm water
Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer).
NOTE: Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency.
When using large countertop mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.
Thinned Royal Icing: To thin for pouring, add 1 teaspoon water per cup of royal icing. Use grease-free spoon or spatula to stir slowly. Add 1/2 teaspoon water at a time until you reach proper consistency.
