Sugar Cookie Stars

We made these cookies just for fun, because who doesn't love decorating cookies, right? (especially if you get to eat them afterwards!)
This is a picture of a way to arrange cookies onto a serving tray so that the cookies will look super cute!



This is just a close up of the cookies:



To decorate these cookies, we used royal icing. First we used a piping bag to outline the cookies. If you don't have a piping bag or tips, you can just use a sandwich bag with a little hole cut in one of the corners. Next, we "flooded" the cookies. To flood the cookies, thin out the royal icing a bit and then use a spoon to pour the icing into the already outlined cookie.


                                       

Royal icing can be made with meringue powder or egg whites. It is suggest that if you are going to eat it, and not just use it for decorating, that meringue powder is used so that raw egg whites are not eaten.
