Ingredient

Cookies

2 pouches (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix
Flour, butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for cutout cookies

Royal Icing

2 tablespoons meringue powder
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups powdered sugar

Decoration

Edible markers

Instructions

Step 1
In large bowl, beat flour, butter, and egg with electric mixer on medium speed (or with wooden spoon) until well mixed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Step 2
Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. On floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using playing card as template, cut dough into rectangles; place on cookie sheets. Reroll dough and cut additional rectangles.

Step 3
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. (If only 1 cookie sheet is available, cool 10 minutes between batches.) Cool cookies completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 4
In medium bowl, beat meringue powder and cold water with electric mixer on medium speed until peaks form. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Spoon one-third of icing into decorating bag fitted with fine tip; pipe outline of playing card onto cookies. Let stand to harden, about 30 minutes.

Step 5
Thin remaining icing with water until it becomes a spreadable consistency. Spoon icing onto each cookie, spreading with back of spoon to fill in space inside outline. Let stand to harden completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 6
Draw card details with edible markers.

Recipe Tips

You can tint the Royal Icing black and red, and hand pipe the card details onto the cookies.
Keep Royal Icing in an airtight container while working with cookies. It will remain useable.
