I disappeared for a while there, sorry about that! Hubby and I just moved into our new place and are still working on unpacking and getting settled in. However, my kitchen is open for business and I've already started working on some yummy treats! The inspiration for this latest one came from the beautiful butterfly cookies at
Sweetopia. I'm new at the whole cookie decorating thing but I think mine turned out fairly well! My biggest excitement upon getting moved in was the arrival of my beautiful new butterfly cookie cutters from
The Cookie Cutter Shop! As soon as I opened them I got to work on my first batch EVER of sugar cookies. The purpose for this particular batch of cookies: to say THANK YOU to all the great friends from our church that helped us move and clean our last apartment. So without further ado, I submit my cookies for your viewing pleasure!
The Cookie Cutter Shop sends a little card with their sugar cookie recipe, which is what I used. You can use your own recipe. For the glaze on top I used the following recipe:
2lbs confectioiners sugar (aka icing sugar)
1tsp lemon juice
2 egg whites
1. Beat lemon juice and egg whites in a mixing bowl, slowly adding sugar. Beat until soft peaks appear. Icing is ready for piping at this stage.
2. For liquid icing, add enough water to soft peak stage icing after piping that it remains slightly thickened. When a spoon drizzle blends easily into the mix it's ready.
So there you go! I'm hoping to make some more yummy decorated cookies in the future!
