Easter sugar cookies

One day I'll be ahead of the game and post several days before a holiday instead of the day or days after. I made sugar cookies on Thursday and decorated them on Saturday. I enjoyed making them, it's just very time consuming. I realize I do this to myself. I'm often a perfectionist, working on something until it's exactly how I envisioned it, and decorating sugar cookies is no exception. Also, it didn't help matters that I used eight different cookie cutters. I used the tried and true cookie recipe from the baby shower. I doubled the recipe and made enough for Easter lunch with the family, my work, my husband's work and a few to handout to spread the Easter cheer.

    Beautiful photos!! Oh my goodness... the cookies are so cute! They are all so pretty! May I ask, how did you get a nice thicker outline and the smooth inside? I would love to give that a try. We love making and decorating cookies for Easter and Christmas! :)

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I was quite exhausted after I finished.

    Jennifer - the trick is to use a fairly thick outline, but easy enough to pipe. And make sure to let it dry before the next step. For the smooth inside - I thinned the icing with a bit of water. Make sure to add a tiny bit of water and stir well and keep adding until consistency is right. (A little water goes a long way). I used a paring knife to apply. Feel free to ask me anything!
