I am a newbie to cookie decorating!  I have been decorating and perfecting my recipe fora round one year. I am LOVING this new craft.  I have been a scrapbooker, sewing nut, jewelry lover and enjoyed other crafts but this is great as I love giving cookies as gifts!  I am now learning all the tricks and best practices for decorating and baking!  I have created my own recipe for my sugar cookies and an enhanced royal icing that I use.
