Cookie Yield
This is a large cookie. For a single batch of dough, you can make about 15 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 set has 6 icing colors. I used Bright White, Deep Pink (just a dot to make the pastel pink for the nose), Sky Blue, Leaf Green, Coal Black, and Buckeye Brown (I mixed Buckeye Brown with Bright White to keep this a light 'gingerbready' brown color). l don't measure exactly...I estimate.
