I made some failed sugar cookies for Halloween, so I went back to the Joy of Cooking recipe again. This is such a nice dough to work with, but quite bland. Definitely need to add lemon zest next time. The shapes were super nice and the lines were crisp. I made royal icing for the first time in a while and this recipe from Sweetopia is amazing. Definitely a keeper.

It takes a while to make, but let the mixer do all the work. I wanted to get vibrant colors and went crazy with the food coloring in the cookie dough and the icing. I am so very pleased with the results. I’ll have to do this again when I have time/patience.
Cookies are decorated and waiting to dry overnight.
One eyed snowman with my famous hot cocoa. I’ll have to put together a recipe in the future.
