This has been one of my favorite cookies for the holidays for years. It’s simple enough yet can be elegant at the same time. You can leave it with just the icing or add sprinkles, and you can change the colors as well. Maybe a red background with white piping? Hmmm…I think I might try that. …

Royal icing is the most common icing for decorating cookies. Use buttercream icing if you’re just icing the tops and putting sprinkles on, but royal icing if you’re going to be doing designs.
