Remove to cooling racks and let cool completely before frosting, if desired.

Creamy Icing


In a small bowl beat 1 egg white, 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vanilla. and enough powdered sugar [1 1/2 2 cups] to make icing of piping consistency. Spread icing on cookies, let dry. If desired, add a drop or two of food coloring, spoon into a zipper style plastic bag, forcing the icing to the corner. Make a small hole in the corner and use to pipe decorations onto cookies.I need a cookie recipe using heart cookie cutters?
Betty Crocker has cookie packages and one is for sugar cookies. Just follow the instructions for cut out cookies, they are really easy and taste great. One package makes quite a bit too depending on how big your cutters are. It made so many for me on Valentines Day I ended up freezing some and they were really good after thawing too. For one hundred I would buy 4 packages but you might only need three. Good luck. BTW if you buy them at Walmart or Dollar General they are very economical too.
