Decorated Cookies with Royal Icing
20 November 2009 dans Baking, Cookies, Royal Icing

My girl has volunteer to bring cookies for her last day class party, knowing that her mother would be able to come up with something cute. See how spoilt are kids of the SAHM!

Since we only have the Hello Kitty Rice mould, I just had do with what I have. Tools I used are:
- Hello Kitty Shape Cutter (to cut out the head)
- Straw (to press the eyes and mouth)
- Toothpicks (to press the whiskers)
- Flower cutter (to press flower shape near Kitty’s ear)
Using just the basic butter cookie recipe, isn’t it pretty simple? I even substitute parts of butter with Planta since I do not have enough at home.

Since I planned to try cookies decoration with Royal Icing this time, I did not stamp faces on the bear cookies. The Royal Icing is pretty easy to make, but boy…it is really difficult to “draw” with it. Blame it to my lousy drawing skill!

Since the bears look so horrible, I decided to ice some flower shapes on the bear shape cookie instead and they ended up looking like the above picture. Nice or not, u think? Quite messy right? Perhaps the color is too light but they look really sweet in real.
I wanted to turn all the bears into flowers but QQ still prefers the bear look. So we ended up having 3 designs, Hello Kitty, Bear and Flowers. Which do you like best?
