I baked 4 dozen of sugar cookies last night in the shape of Wilton's 3 set of Snowflakes. I am going to be decorating them tonight but I dont know what icing to use. Can someone please help? I have the Wilton Buttercream icing recipe but I wasnt sure if that would taste good on sugar cookies. I am new to decorating cookies and would love any help that I can receive. Also, any ideas on decorating them?
THANKS!! 
there are several cookie icings that are really great for decorating cookies. You can use a royal icing, a glace icing, or a buttercream. You can also decorate/frost with fondant or rolled buttercream.
Personally, I LOVE Antonia74's royal icing recipe (here in the recipe section on CC).
Here are some threads that have information that might be helpful to you...

have fun!!
Thanks so much! For the buttercream icing would they be ok traveling 5 hours? I am decorating them tonight and traveling tomorrow in the evening. For the Royal Icing, how does it taste? I have seen where some people dont like the taste of it...
Thanks so much for the wonderful links!
The only RI recipe I use is Antonia74's - it tastes fine (I've never had any complaints!). I flavor it with either clear vanilla or another natural flavoring (the original recipe was created by someone in Canada, and the Meringue powder she gets has vanilla added in it).
