I use a really basic sugar cookie recipe that my family has used for as long as I can remember. I like them because they aren't that sweet by themselves, so the royal icing compliments them nicely.
I hope Donna likes her baby-onsie cookies!

Baby Boy :o)
About two weeks ago my friend Katie and I decided we wanted to learn how to decorate sugar cookies with royal icing. You know the ones. Cute little cut out designs with perfect icing on top. So far I have made pumpkins, and cupcakes for my niece's birthday. My ballet teacher Donna, is expecting a baby boy in January so I wanted to put my new cookie-making skills to work and create a sweet treat for her. These cookies are not difficult once you learn the basic technique, but they can be time consuming. Since Ben and I decided we were allowed to be lazy on this Fall Saturday, I thought cookie-decorating would be a great way to spend the afternoon.

Outline the cookies first, then "flood" them with thinned out icing.
