Steps:
- Put about 1 cup of the royal icing into a small bowl. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it's the consistency of toothpaste. Add 1/4 cup of this icing to a pastry bag fitted with a number #3 pastry tip; this will be your outlining icing. Divide the remaining icing between two bowls and color each in desired color using food gel colors. Add each to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler and a leaf tip.
- Thin the remaining 2 cups royal icing with water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it's the consistency of shampoo or a very thick gravy. Put into a squeeze bottle.
- Outline the cookies: Hold the piping bag with the outlining icing securely in your hand. Apply a little pressure to squeeze out the icing and touch it to the edge of the cookie where you want to outline. Gently but evenly begin to squeeze out the icing, keeping the tip about 1/2 inch above the cookie, using that slack to guide the icing as if it were a string. Make nice, straight lines, touching down the tip to anchor the icing at the comers, making your way around the cookie to outline it completely. Once all the cookies are outlined, let the icing set, up to 2 hours.
- Flood the cookies: Holding the squeeze bottle very close to the surface of a cookie, squeeze out thick, squiggly lines across the surface of the cookie inside the outlined border to cover it almost completely. Use a toothpick to gently spread the icing and guide it to the edges of the border and to fill in any little holes, giving the cookie a gentle shake to settle the icing. The icing should be smooth and even across the surface of the cookie. Use the tip of a skewer to pop any bubbles at the surface. Repeat with the remaining cookies and let the icing set, about 30 minutes.
- Use the colored icings with the leaf tip to pipe a decorative border around the edges of the set white icing. Place the tip just above the cookie surface and squeeze gently, slowly releasing pressure while you pull away to make a leaf shape.
- Switch out leaf tips to #2 or #3 small round tips. Working with the same technique you used for the outline of the cookie, by anchoring the icing and then manipulating the "string" to make shapes, write the desired names onto the surface of the cookies. One easy and impressive lettering technique is the cursive print "Blend." Do a pretty, stylized capitalized first letter in the cursive style and then write the remaining letters in a lower-case print style. The first letter might be a little tricky, but you only have to worry about one! It adds drama, while the rest of the letters are very simple and easy to do.
SHORTBREAD HAMMER PLACECARDS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and 1 cup of sugar on low speed until they are just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough 1/2-inch thick and cut with a 4 1/2-inch hammer-shaped cutter. Place the hammer cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- For the icing, combine the confectioners' sugar and corn syrup in a bowl with a wire whisk until it is a thick paste. Gradually add enough lemon juice until the mixture is a good consistency for piping.
- With an extra fine pastry tip, pipe individual names on the hammer cookies. Let the icing set before serving.
SUGAR COOKIE NAME CARDS
These are fun for kid's parties or Christmas get togethers. You don't have to use them as just a name card, you can write a short message or anything you want on them. Use your imagination, but enjoy the cookies. We have made these at Christmas and hung them on the tree. (the cat ended up eating them, but it looked nice for a day or so!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients together and mix with an electric mixer until blended. Gradually add the dry stuff to the wet stuff until combined thoroughly.
- Roll dough out on lightly floured surface until about 1/8" thick. Cut into various shapes using cookie cutters or even just cut with a knife into rectangles.
- Use a straw to cut out a hole in the cookie. Be sure to leave enough room around the edges of the hole so it's not too thin.
- Place shapes on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes. When you remove cookies, you may have to poke the straw through the hole again to re-open it.
- Transfer to a cooling rack.
- Decorate name card with icing/decorator gel and tie a ribbon or string of yarn through the hole to hang the card.
