I made these NYC designs by first flooding the cookies in white royal icing and letting them dry completely.

Synergistic Cookies

I love the way these Brush Embroidery Cookies look together in a group, as if they were all pieces cut from the same bolt of fabric. This lavender bunch was a custom order for a wedding.

Royal Crown Cookies

These are just some new photos of my Royal Crown Cookies.
