Decorator Cut Out Sugar Cookies

Cookie crafting is a bit easier than it appears - it just takes preparing the cookies in steps and layers. It's fun and it's creative, not to mention beautiful, and above all, a delicious recipe!

Decorator Cut Out Sugar Cookies


Decorator cut out cookies used to scare me.

I mean look at them! They just look hard, don't they?

Well, I did it! And somehow I managed to squeeze it into the past two days of craziness. And yay, I got them done before Christmas Day too, despite the fact that I only decided to do them on Monday. I'm talking about decorating all those Christmas cookie cut outs that I rolled and baked the other day of course. I think they came out very nice, don't you? And ya know... it was really fun to do!

I can't believe I ever let a little royal icing and some decorating tools intimidate me all these years. I really enjoyed this entire process. This recipe will be perfect for making cut out cookies any time of the year and for any occasion. All you need are the cookie cutters!

I don't know about elsewhere in the world, but you would never know there was a recession in 2008 at our local WalMart because I've been there several times over the last 2 days and that place was ALL abuzz! The mall too.

And since I'm getting ready to gather myself to get my dishes ready for the big day tomorrow, there's a high probability that I'll be back out there again today! Actually, all the buzz and excitement really lifted my spirits yesterday and while it was crowded and the waits were long, it finally felt like Christmas and I didn't mind at all!


I really like this recipe and as you see, it makes quite a few cookies. I'd say about 3 dozen, but it depends on your cutout shapes of course.

Now once you get all that royal icing flooded in, it is a goodly bit of major sweetness, but I guess that's probably a good thing cuz it'll keep ya from eating a boatload of 'em all at once!

I hope that you give cookie crafting a try too. Merry Christmas!
