Classic Sugar Cookies With Royal Icing

Classic sugar cookies with royal icing are a holiday favorite that bring joy and festivity to any Christmas celebration. These sweet, buttery cookies are perfect for decorating and sharing with family and friends. The royal icing adds a beautiful finish and allows for creative designs, making these cookies not just delicious but also visually appealing.

Cooking Steps:

1. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
2. Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. This step is essential for easier rolling and cutting.
5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
6. Roll Out the Dough: Once chilled, take one disk of dough out of the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness.
7. Cut the Cookies: Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between them.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Royal Icing: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water. Mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. If using food coloring, divide the icing into portions and add colors as desired.
10. Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a squeeze bottle to decorate them with royal icing. Create outlines and fill in the cookies, allowing each layer to dry before adding details.
11. Let Icing Dry: Allow the royal icing to dry completely at room temperature for several hours or overnight.
12. Serve and Enjoy: Once decorated and dried, your classic sugar cookies with royal icing are ready to be enjoyed or gifted to others during the holiday season!

4. Add Eggs and Extract: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the peppermint extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
6. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips manually with a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. They should be soft in the center and slightly firm on the edges. After baking, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Creamy Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream, starting with 2 tablespoons of cream and mixing until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. If needed, add additional cream, one tablespoon at a time.
10. Frost Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of the creamy topping over each cookie.
11. Add Peppermint Candies: Finally, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on top of the frosted cookies for a festive and crunchy finish.

These bars are topped with a vibrant and colorful frosting, making them perfect for holiday gatherings and celebrations. They are simple to make and allow for creative decorating ideas, guaranteeing that your dessert table stands out.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract until well blended.

4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to tough bars.
5. Pour into Baking Pan: Once the batter is fully combined, pour it into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack. It’s important to let them cool completely before frosting.
8. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until you achieve a smooth and spreadable frosting. If desired, add food coloring to achieve festive colors, mixing thoroughly to get an even color.
9. Frost the Bars: Once the sugar cookie bars are fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
