  • -Put in the refrigerator for about 6 hours or overnight. Check to see if the dough is firm.
  • -Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  • Royal Icing
  • Icing Ingredients:
  • egg whites
  • C powder sugar
  • /2 tsp cream of tartar
  • Red, blue, green, and yellow gel food coloring
  • Wilton Black Foodwriter
  • Icing Directions:
  • -Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl mixing on medium speed for 4 minutes. (except your food coloring)
  • -If icing is not stiff enough add 1/4 C powder sugar.
  • - Transfer icing from the large bowl into 4 bowls, divide the icing equally into each of the bowls.
  • -Bowl #1, add several drops of yellow gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended; bowl #2 , add several drops of blue gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended. Bowl #3, add several drops of green gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended.
  • -Bowl #4, add several drops of red gel food coloring in the bowl of icing ... stir well to mix the color. (Red is a difficult color to get so you may have to continue to add the food coloring to get the bright deep red color. That is why we use a gel food color as it doesn't water down the icing.)
  • -Spoon each of the icings into individual frosting bags with a #5 tip.... twist the open end of the bag to push the icing to the tip.
  • ABC, and a Ruler...
  • -First step for each of the cookies is to outline the cookies following the examples given.
  • -Yellow for the ruler, A &1 are red, B &2 are blue while C & 3 are green.
  • -Allow each outline at least 30 seconds to dry before filling the body of the cookie in with the other icing*. ( After outlining all of the cookies in their colors you can push the *remaining icing out of the frosting bag into a bowl and add the 1 tsp of water and mix well to get the right consistency.) Using a butter knife to spread it from the outlined part inwards to the center icing all of the cookie to match the outline color.
  • -Set these aside and allow to completely dry about 4 hours.
  • -After the icing on the ruler cookie has completely dried use the Wilton Foodwriter in black to mark off the lines and numbers as shown on the example ruler.
