Instructions
Sugar Cookies:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cover, and chill dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Roll out dough, using powdered sugar on the surface and rolling pin ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Using assorted cookie cutters, stamp out the shapes you'd like to ice. (We used heart shape cookie cutters.)
- Carefully, with a spatula, place cookies 1 inch apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
Royal Icing:
- To a stand mixer add the meringue powder and water on medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the powdered sugar and continue to mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
- Separate icing into three bowls, adding red food coloring to one, pink food coloring to the second and nothing to the third.
- Add gel colors of your choosing and if you need to thin for thin piping add small amounts of water at a time.
- Using a #5 tip on your piping bag, pipe a border first then fill in with the desired color with a larger tip, leaving a 1/2" border around the cookies.
- If layering colors allow the first layer to dry for 2 hours before adding secondary colors.
