Christmas Cookies 2018



First time finally trying royal icing using this youtube video.


It was not as hard as it looked.  I think they turned out pretty good.



I used this cookie recipe instead of the one in the video.

Cream 1 cup softened butter with
1 cup sugar
Add 1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 egg
1 T milk (more if needed)

Add 3 cups flour mixed with
1 1/2 tsp baking powder and
1/4 tsp salt

wrap and chill for one hour
roll out between two sheets of parchment paper so as not to add additional flour and cut out cookies to desired thickness.  I did about 1/8-1/4 inch
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes
