• Royal Icing (using egg white)
• Royal Icing (using meringue powder)
• Sugar Icing (made with corn syrup)

Since it was pouring heavily and I was so lazy to go out to get other ingredients so I just made use of what I have at home, the eggs!

Ingredients:

• 330g icing sugar
• 2 large egg white
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• few drops of vanilla essence

Method

Using a clean big bowl, I whisk the egg white till formy. Then add  the lemon juice and the icing (little by little). Beat mixture until soft peak.

I think I added more icing and my icing was a bit hard. But since piping is easy, I did not bother to dilute it (can be done by adding drops of water). Diluted icing works great if you wish to fill up the surface of your cookie smoothly.  You can fill them by using spatula. I just used a toothpick to smooth the surface from icing I piped out around the side of the cookies.

Decorated cookies are best left to be harden at room temperature. I kept the leftover of the icing in the fridge (covered) and am planning to decorate some cupcakes later on.

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?
