![]() ![]() Sadie ate these with no worries.in fact, she LOVED them! And I've never had any issues with raw eggs so it was all ok here! The only thing about royal icing is that it does use raw egg white which you have to be careful about if you are pregnant and some people don't really like this. Plus, we are already on water conservation here so I figure the water I'm not using to wash this out, counters the act of throwing a bag away! Not very eco-friendly but it sure saves a super messy clean-up. That way, when you are done you can just throw the whole thing out. There is also no need for fancy equipment - I poured the icing into a sandwich size snaplock bag, snipped a tiny hole in one corner and used this to pipe the decorations. And if royal icing isn't your thing, you can use melted white chocolate or just a simple icing with icing sugar and milk - this one just won't set like the royal icing does. If you don't like gingerbread cookies, you can use this recipe for chocolate cookies or this one for plain sugar cookies and use the same royal icing. If you have older kids, they will love decorating these cookies - you could even set up a few stations with icing bags and Christmas sprinkles and it would be a fun pre-Christmas activity with a few kids! Or you could be like me and decorate them when your kid is in bed, because perfectly decorated gingerbread cookies is one thing I still have control over and I had so much fun doing it in peace! And if you want even more ideas, search for decorated sugar cookies on Pinterest - there are thousands of inspiring ideas there! I've included close ups of a few of the designs I did so that they are easy to copy. And really, it's mostly just time consuming! But the good thing is, you can go as simple or as intricate as you like! And actually, even the ones that look the most impressive are still pretty simple. Click here to pin this post to your Christmas recipes board on Pinterest to save it for later I got this set from Kmart for $6 and they are perfect! Here is another option too. Use whatever shaped cookie cutters you have. These cookies have a whopping 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, plus cinnamon and allspice! Go big or go home I say! Because nothing is more disappointing than a gingerbread cookie recipe that tastes like a plain cookie with a bit of ginger thrown in for fun. A simple gingerbread cookie recipe, with ramped up spice flavour. The cookies themselves are not fussy at all. ![]() Because look how PRETTY these decorated gingerbread cookies are!!
