Bake the cookies:

1. Prepare your favorite cookie recipe, roll out the dough and cut out your desired shapes.
2. Bake in the preheated oven according to the recipe, then let cool completely.

Prepare the royal icing:

1. Sift the powdered sugar and stir smooth with the egg white (or meringue powder + water) and lemon juice.
2. The mixture should have a thick, easily pipeable consistency.
3. Tint in several colors as desired and fill into small piping bags or squeeze bottles.

Decorate the cookies:

Flood the cookies with royal icing

1. First pipe the outline.
2. Then fill in the surface.
3. If you like, add highlights with luster dust, gold leaf, or the Happy Ever After Mix sprinkles. Then let dry slightly.
4. Then decorate with contrasting elements (e. g. initials, names, hearts) or other decorations.

Drying & packaging:

1. Let the cookies dry completely (ideally overnight, uncovered).
2. Package them as a lovely favor – or place them directly as place cards at each setting.
3. 💡 Tip:
   
   Depending on the color choice and decoration, these cookies are perfect not just for weddings, but also for christenings, birthdays, or as a loving gift.
