At the end of this crazy busy weekend, and before even the creazier week before Christmas starts, I wanted to share a few photos of the cookies I made yesterday.
I'm so proud of my first-born decorated cookies. They are not perfect, there's so much space for improvement, but considering that I had no experience or the right tools, how could I not be satisfied?
Don't look for imperfections, just tell me they're cute ^__^
I used
this cookie recipe as a base because I like them much better than plain sugar cookies. And they behaved quite well.
For the Royal icing I simply mixed 2 egg whites with approximately 300 g (or a little more) sifted powdered sugar and added a little lemon juice. Then I divided it and coloured using the colours you can see in the pictures (I used gel colours).
The difficult part was discovering I didn't have a single #1 or #2 tip, the smallest one I had was quite big, and I ended up with cookies loaded with icing.
Only this morning I checked my silicon chocolate pen and realized that would be much more helpful for final decorations than any of the tips I had on hand.
I've always liked glass snowballs, and therefore these cookies that vaguely resemble them are my favourite.
Have a great week getting ready for Christmas.
