INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whip up a batch of our perfect cut out sugar cookie dough and chill dough for at least an hour.
2. Roll out your dough and cut out your mushrooms. Bake and let cool.
3. Make a batch of classic royal icing and divide into 3 bowls. Color each bowl pink, orange, and yellow, adding just a few drops at time until your achieve the perfect shade.
4. Add a few drops of water to each bowl of icing until you achieve a good outlining and flooding consistency. You will want your icing to smooth into the rest of the icing when you drizzle it with your mixing spoon within 9 seconds. That is how you know it is a consistency that will give you nice smooth iced cookies.
5. Fill piping bags fitted with number 3 round decorating tips. 
6. Pipe an outline on your mushroom, then fill using back and forth lines of icing. You can use a tooth pick to help fill in any gaps. We used contrasting icing colors on the stems and caps of our mushrooms adding a few dots of icing in the caps while the icing was still wet.
7. Let your cookies set overnight before stacking.
