Ingredients
Step 1: Gather and Prepare Ingredients
First, gather all the ingredients you’ll need for making the sugar cookies and the icing.
Ensure that all ingredients are measured correctly according to your recipe to streamline the process.
Step 2: Mix and Roll the Dough
Prepare the dough for the sugar cookies according to your recipe instructions.
Once the dough is mixed, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
Step 3: Cut Out Cookie Shapes
Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled dough.
Carefully transfer the cut-out cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies until they are lightly golden around the edges.
The baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your cookies, so keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Step 5: Cool the Cookies
Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating to ensure the icing adheres properly and doesn’t melt.
Step 6: Prepare and Apply Icing
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the easy glaze icing based on your recipe instructions.
Once the cookies have cooled, decorate them with the glaze icing using a piping bag, spoon, or knife.
Add any additional decorations you like while the icing is still wet.
Step 7: Let Icing Set
Allow the icing to set completely before serving or storing the cookies.
This will ensure that the icing hardens and adds a delightful crunch to your sugar cookies.
Enjoy your beautifully decorated treats!
