Instead of using royal icing transfers to make these Yoda Star Wars cookies, I traced the outline of the characters onto the first layer of royal icing once it dried. I printed out templates from clip art that I found online, cut out the templates, and then used a toothpick to gently scratch the outlines onto the dried icing. Then, I just filled in each section of icing one at a time, waiting for the icing to dry in between sections. Yoda's facial features are drawn on with a black food coloring marker. read more

There is one thing every cookier needs in their arsenal... a favorite royal icing recipe. The royal icing recipe that I'm sharing with you today is my favorite because it is not only yummy (of course!) but it is the perfect texture. There is a not-so-secret ingredient that allows the icing to harden enough for stacking and shipping while remaining soft on the inside.

Begin by using a whisk to mix 5 tablespoons of meringue powder and 3/4 teaspoon of cream of... read more
