These charming cookies are trimmed with icing details and candy-bright accents, turning every bite into a tiny holiday storybook scene.

Cookie Yield

One batch of dough makes approximately 45-54 mini cookies ... 8 or 9 of each design (depending on how thick you roll your dough). I should note that I roll my cookies to 1/4" thick using the Dough EZ Rolling Mat System. The thickness of your cookies will impact your yield.

Prepping the Royal Icing

Check out the icing guide below for tips on making the right colors and an estimate of how much of each color you'll need.

For a single batch of dough, I typically use a single batch of icing. Since I'm using a KitchenAid mixer, I made a double batch of icing and split it in half (reserving half for another project).

ICING GUIDE
