I made the snowflakes this year and I used the royal icing recipe. I wish I would have found this blog earlier. I painted the cookies with a brush so I did not get the nice white on the cookie. Instead I had to try to do it twice because the icing was translucent. The blue was not quite what I had in mind. I now know what I need to do - but what if you do want to paint the small cookies - what icing would you recommend? Also, it would be nice if with each cookie cutter a colored picture of the iced cookie would be great. I have cookie cutters I bought in the past and I don't know exactly what they are. I know they are Easter and Christmas but it would be nice to have a finished product to give me ideas. "Here is a link to what you may be looking for.
