Ingredients

For royal icing:

Instructions

  • Sieve flour, salt, baking powder together and mix it well, Set aside. In a mixing bowl add butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla essence and whisk it together to form a creamy mixture.
  • Then add the flour mixture and mix well to form a smooth dough. Add 2-3 teaspoon of extra milk if needed. But don't be tempted to add more milk, just add to bring together to a dough. Just roll the cookies with a chapat'hi roller on a butter paper till just about ¼ inch thickness. Then cut into different shapes with cookie cutters.
  • Take it carefully with a ladle and place it on the tray with butter paper. I refrigerated it for 15 minutes before baking and the cookies didn't spread much so you can keep it closer as shown in the pic. Meanwhile preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10 minutes then bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The cookies will look pale only the edges might have turned golden brown, its the right time to stop. Allow them to cool them in tray itself for few mins, then cool them on wirerack. Once cooled store them in airtight container until you are ready to decorate them.
  • I made the cookies the previous day and decorated them the next day. Now for the icing take a large bowl and add icing sugar,cornflour. Then add milk and lemon juice, mix well to form smooth thick paste.
  • The consistency should be thick but flowing as shown below. Divide the icing into equal portions in different bowls, then add few drops of food colors in each bowl for get the required color. Fill it up in the respective icing bags. You can use butter paper / ziplock bags too for making the cone. But make sure to seal it properly.
  • Just cut the tip of the icing bag to get a fine line for decorating. Be creative and decorate your cookies.I just filled them and sprinkled edible color / silver beads.Let them cool then you can store it in airtight container.
  • You can enjoy your colorful yummy cookies, am sure your kids will enjoy it!

Notes

  • You can draw a base color then let it dry and draw patters in alternate colors. I was pressed for time so did a simple icing. And I tell you it takes around 2-3 hours for icing alone so prepare ahead.
  • You can even sprinkle granulated sugar and bake these cookies as simple sugar cookies.
  • If you find cookies uneven in thickness, bake the thicker cookies in a batch and the rest in the next batch.
