Cookie Yield

The is a medium cookie, so for a single batch of dough, you can make at least 18 of these cookies. 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

ICING PREP

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).

This cookie has 4 icing colors. I used Bright White, Gold, Deep Pink (just a teeny dot to make pastel pink), and a mixture of fleshtone and buckeye brown for the skin. l don't measure exactly...I estimate. For a more detailed look at icing planning, CLICK HERE to read this helpful blog post.
