Patience and Perseverance
The cookies I flooded last week didn't turn out as I wanted them to and I want to practice as much as I can because I really like the effect Royal Icing gives. So I flooded some more cookies (of different shapes this time) and left them to dry over night so that they went hard.
I chose some pale "vintage" colours which I thought would work well with the cookie shapes. I then iced them in white royal icing in different designs. Although they are not perfect, I am much happier with these cookies than I am with my last ones!
The three cookies below are my favourites. All the cookies are made to the same recipe as last time, but I put some more chocolate chips in. This unfortunately made the mixture more difficult to work with and thus the cookies turned out different thicknesses! Also, some of the cookies didn't have enough icing on them when they were flooded (I was being extra careful this time), so next time I will make sure the icing is as easily spread as possible.
My piping is getting better, but I need to work slower in order to get neater lines!
Thanks for reading!
