Sugar Cookies- experiment one!

As promised in a previous post, I attempted to make decorative sugar cookies.  While at home, I browsed Sugar Bakers and Eggemyers for cookie cutters. I found a boot shape and cactus shape that I loved. I decided they could be turned into a holiday boot and Christmas cactus { I am always looking for things that can be reused}.
Royal Icing:

Mix 2 table spoons of pasteurized egg whites with 2 cups of powdered sugar.  You can add more powdered sugar for thicker icing or less for thinner icing. If you want colored frosting, you will need separate bowls and food coloring. I used a combination of regular and neon food coloring to dye the frosting.
