how to decorate cookies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you'll need to master the basics of cookie decorating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here is a recipe for delicious no-spread cut-out cookies<\/a><\/strong>. We also have a recipe for cream cheese cut-out cookies<\/a><\/strong> and dark chocolate cut-out cookies<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out this post for recommendations on baking trays<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The icing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, cookies are decorated with royal icing<\/a><\/strong>. This version uses meringue powder (dried egg whites). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar cookie icing <\/a><\/strong>does not require egg whites or meringue powder, tastes delicious, and is super easy to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
