I roll them about 3/8 of an inch thick and I don't over bake. There's a corn syrup icing that I like and it tastes better than royal, but I can't ever get the same control and detail as I can with the royal. Plus, for me the corn syrup icing seems really hard to pipe, especially out of a #1 tip!<br />I've also iced with fondant and that is really soft and yummy. It's harder to get the icing to the edge of the cookie, but you could do the same painting and top icing with the fondant on there. Flavor it with lemon and it tastes like lemon pound cake!!

How thick do you roll out the cookies?

I love mixing the color with extract to paint the eye color, and love how you painted the lines on for 3 D look. The ones i have done usually stopped at outlining, and maybe a few dots after the first layer dryed...Alivia's birthday party is Saturday..should I attempt to do Rapunzel (tangled) hmm....I also love the idea of coping a picture from the internet, to get the cookie shape. I have a question about that, do you just go around the copy with a knife on the dough? Also do you share your cookie recipe? I understand if you do not. I have one i use, but i would love to look at yours...thanks Meridith!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431660790988812870noreply@blogger.com
