What I love about this aesthetic Christmas cookie recipe with Easy Icing:

I’m a 42-year-old who loves family and the holidays. For me, the festive season isn’t just dates on a calendar; it’s a chance to connect with my kids through shared moments. Come along as we dive into making more than just cookies – we’re creating traditions and special memories together.

• Bonding Time: Because these cookies aren’t just treats; they’re a way to connect generations and make lasting family memories.

• Deliciously Sweet: These homemade sugar cookies aren’t just pretty; they taste amazing too! Get ready for a burst of sweetness in every bite, making them a delightful addition to your festive spread.
• Showstopper Treat: Impress your guests with these unique cookies that steal the show. They’re not just desserts; they’re the star of your holiday gatherings.
• Easy and Elegant: Enjoy the best of both worlds – a simple recipe that produces cookies with an elegant flair. It’s a win-win for anyone who loves easy yet impressive holiday baking!
• Check the thickness: Make sure the dough’s thickness is even all around (I recommend rolling to 5-6mm / 1/4-inch thickness—don’t be afraid to use a ruler). If your dough is uneven, the cookies’ bake times will vary, and the surfaces will slope, causing difficulty when piping decorations.

Pro Tips on how to make this easy holiday cookies recipe.

• Gather all you ingredients before hand and weigh them precisely with a kitchen scale.
• Make your your eggs and butter come to room temperature .
• Chill the rolled-out cookie dough before you cut it out and bake the cookies. This is essential for hindering the cookies from spreading while baking.
• Let the angel wing cookies cool completely before you decorate them with the royal icing.
• Beat all the ingredients for the royal icing until fluffy and has a meringue like consistency.
• I use one-way piping bags without a piping tip for decorating.
• Check the thickness: Make sure the dough’s thickness is even all around (I recommend rolling to 5-6mm / 1/4-inch thickness—don’t be afraid to use a ruler). If your dough is uneven, the cookies’ bake times will vary, and the surfaces will slope, causing difficulty when piping decorations.

Easy Royal Icing Recipe

The Recipe for my Royal Icing is super easy. I love that the recipe contains only three ingredients, which everyone has at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 Egg white
• 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 200g sieved powdered sugar

Instruction

• Start with beating your egg white until foamy (1 minute)
• Add the lemon juice and powdered sugar and beat everything until creamy and fluffy (7-10min)
• It should be a thick meringue-like icing.
• Transfer the Icing into a piping bag and cut off just a bit. The opening shouldn’t be larger than 3-4mm (0,15inch)

As I bake these Christmas sugar cookies, I imagine the happiness they’ll bring to our family get-togethers. The recipe is simple, keeping our focus on being together and creating sweet memories. Cheers to celebrating, enjoying special moments, and the magic of Christmas!
