I believed I might posted this recipe way back(!), however a search by means of the archives proved me unsuitable! I am additionally together with the icing I like.
Icing
So far as icing goes, I’ve quite a lot of ideas. 😉 I’ve a base recipe I take advantage of after which tweak it from there. Typically, I like my icing considerably translucent, like a wash – so I add extra water. Different occasions, I would like it extra opaque, so I go away it as written (beneath). I at all times prefer it to be a bit matte, and never hyper-glossy, so that is what you may get right here. Additionally, have enjoyable with pure colours. You possibly can do tiny hot-pink dots on the timber pictured with some raspberry powder plus a little bit of the icing added to it. I like saffron for yellow, matcha for inexperienced, and many others. Mess around!
Professional-tip! Maintain your eyes peeled at yard gross sales, flea markets, and the like for particular cookie cutters – that is the place you may discover the gems. I’ve a bin of favorites that I can go to every time I make cookies.
