What to you decorate your sugar cookies with?

Butter cream icing and sprinkles.

Powder Sugar and Milk to make the frosting and then we dye it with food coloring. We add sprinkles sometimes too.

I like to get the easy set icing at Michael's. I like how it stays put so you can stack them with out messing them up! I always love those little edible silver beads!

Royal icing:

3 Tbs meringue powder (Micheal's and Walmart carries it)
6-7 Tbs warm water
1 lb confectioner's powder

Combine in a bowl, with a hand beater at low for 8 to 9 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it's glossy and has semi-stiff peaks. You can add food coloring gels and a little water to make it as thin as you'd like. It dries hard (not rock hard - it won't chip your teeth or anything like that!). Smooth finish every time. It's what I use on my cookies that I sell.
