Polka Dot Cookies

You do know I'm very fond of polka dots.  I love them on just about anything. 

So I thought why not make some polka dot cookies Mimi Sue?  OK, why not?

First you make your favorite sugar cookie recipe.

 Then you get some of these little bottles and fill them with royal icing that you tint with food coloring.  I make royal icing with meringue powder, (you can get it at Michaels or Hobby Lobby) and not raw egg whites so no one gets sick.

 Then you outline your cookie with the icing,  add a few squiggles inside the outline, then fill it in with a knife.

 Then you take some plain white icing and make the polka dots.

Then you take some of these adorable cookies to your neighbors and friends.  I'm sure they'll love you if you do.
