Baked and decorated Cookies.

I have always loved the look of cookies, that are baked and decorated so beautifully. So I was on a mission to bake myself some and decorate them with royal icing.

So I found a great gingerbread cookie recipe and set to work on baking and creating. I made some crowns and butterflies for my eldest daughter and I have to say that they were pretty good.

This is a gingerbread cookie, flooded with royal icing sugar and decorated with caches.

So I created some more of these cookies and everyone loved them. I did some for christmas and I made these cookies for my youngest daughter's 1st birthday. I was so looking forward to seating down, once everyone had left to have one with a cup of tea, but no they all went.

My brother had his birthday in March this year, and I asked what he wanted me to bring. A batch of your cookies thanks.

So gingerbread cookies with homemade royal icing this time.

I also decided to try another flavour of cookies.

Honey cookies.

The first batch that I baked, I made them to thin. So in true style, I shipped some of the thinner cookies of to my neighbours to sample. But don't worry, I did true them myself. They are better a thicker cookie.

Honey cookies, with homemade royal icing. I love the three that are in the middle.
