Cookies
17.5 oz. Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teas. vanilla
1 c. all-purpose flour
(variation: may add 1/4 c. cocoa & 3/4 c. flour)
Combine cookie mix w/cream cheese until crumbly. Mix in the eggs & vanilla until well combined. Add flour to make a firm dough. Refrigerate for 15 min. Lightly flour/powder sugar board and roll out dough to 1/4 in. Bake cookies for 8 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
Royal Icing
5 Tablespoons Meringue Powder (purchase at Joanne’s/Michaels/Hobby Lobby) 3 Cups Confectioners’ sugar, sifted 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla – add after waterMix meringue and sugar together. Start adding water a little bit at a time. Once the dry ingredients are wet, add the vanilla. The key is getting the icing to the right consistency (still don’t have it quite perfect). There’s a fine line between thin enough to pipe and too thick to pipe. I’m usually a tad bit thin.
They look PERFECT! I think they look exactly like an Astronaut. Good job!

Impressive, everytime you do something it just keeps getting better. Is it possible to hook your sister up with some “Duck Dynasty” cookies for Katie’s 9th birthday? I will love you more than I do now…if that’s possible =)
