Hello and THANK YOU! :) I am so glad you like my blog. It is my therapy and happy place in this crazy life with four young sons and one teenage daughter.

I love the look of royal icing, but have never really thought it complimented sugar cookies. BUT – these cookies are different. It’s worth making them pretty because they are so delicious. I wish i could reprint the recipe.

As for the icing ~ I never really had any luck when I was first starting out with it. It would either run off the cookie and make a huge mess or be too thick. This went on for ages. Then I saw Colette Peters on some cooking/craft show a few years ago. She gave two very important reminders: 1- Run the mixer on med.low for five minutes when blending it AND 2 – when you pull the paddle up, watch the icing drip back into the pan. If it blends back into itself in 10 seconds, the consistency is right. (Remember that it has to be thicker than that to do the outline)

I have never had any trouble with it since seeing Colette make it.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend & I hope you come back real soon!

~ Annie

My daughter can’t believe how smooth that frosting is. I have just recently discovered your blog and wanted to let you know that I have bookmarked it. Not only does your food look fabulous, but I’m equally impressed with your photography. Great job and I look forward to reading your blog.
