Christmas Sugar Cookies

I can’t believe that Christmas is only 3 days away! I am so excited to see my family and friends in just a few days!

I have been baking up a storm in my kitchen preparing little cookie tins for our neighbors and family. Of course on my list of things to include in my christmas cookie tins are some decorated sugar cookie cutouts.

I decorated these cookies with royal icing. I love the smooth, matte finish that royal icing makes. It is so beautiful to use on cutout cookies.
