Strawberry Sugar Cookies

 I like how my strawberry sugar cookies turned out and I like the fact that only two royal icing colors were needed to make them. A sprinkle of nonpareils to mimic strawberry seeds finishes the look.

Here's how to make them:

A strawberry cookie ready to be decorated.

Use green icing to pipe leaves.

Use a square tip brush to draw a line through each leaf to add dimension.

These cookies are ready for the red icing.

Outline the strawberry with red icing.

Flood the cookie and use a skewer to move the icing and fill in the gaps.

The cookie is ready for a sprinkle on nonpareils.

They look great. After the icing dries, they'll be ready to package and give away.
