Sugar Cookies (No Chill)

I love making sugar cookies!  I’m not a professional cookie decorator by any means, but I sure do enjoy making them for special occasions.

Decorating sugar cookies with wafer paper is a quick and easy way to make your confections and they taste good too!  Simply bake your cookies, cover with royal icing and allow to dry for at least 24 hours.

Using a pastry brush, “paint” the back of the wafer paper with corn syrup.  Place it on the dry royal icing and gently press it down to adhere to the cookie.  You can brush the border with a little more corn syrup and sprinkle with decorating sugar.

This recipe for sugar cookies is so delicious and easy to make, too!
