These yummies were inspired by this recipe. When I realized I didn’t have enough powdered sugar, I found this recipe (which has a couple mistakes: says “butter” in the ingredients list and “margarine” in the directions, and doesn’t tell you when to add the vanilla extract). The dough was weird and mushy in some spots, but they turned out pretty great and very buttery (a plus in my book!).
Then I made Culinary Concoctions’ cookie icing, dipped a couple dozen cookies in it, and sprinkled on some stars (you know, for the Star Wars-themed party). Yum!
I almost bought cookie icing from the grocery store, but then I looked at the ingredients list. Yikes. Definitely a few too many questionable bits in that. I love that this recipe has 3 ingredients (I left out the food coloring) and takes about 30 seconds to whip up.
As for sprinkles… your safest bet is to sprinkle on some raw sugar, but I like color.

YUM. I love everything about them. Especially the dripping frosting with cute colored sprinkles.

Those are the best looking sugar cookies I have EVER seen.
