What you'll need:
24 of your favorite rolled sugar cookies

liner paint brush (fine point brush)
piping bag or sandwich baggie
#3 decorating tip
royal icing
Royal Icing:
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar (tartaric acid)
3 cups powdered or icing sugar
Beat egg whites until foamy and frothy. Add in cream of tartar and mix. Add in powdered sugar in two parts, mixing until smooth after each addition. Icing consistency should be that of thin glue. Ribbons coming off a spoon should flow back into the icing within 10 seconds. If too thin, add more powdered sugar, if too thick, add a bit of water (1 tsp at a time).
