Easiest Sugar Cookies and Royal Icing

Today my baby celebrated his 4th birthday party! He had a blast. For a favor, I made ice cream cone shaped cookies (hey, it IS the first day of summer!) and attached them to a Friendly’s gift card. Since we had a Scooby theme, I made a basket to match to hold the favors. These cookies are simple and absolutely delish!!! These were definitely time consuming but in the end they make a nice favor for the kiddies. Big smiles!

Cupcakes though? Sooo much easier for me. When I ran into this recipe I knew my son would be over the moon for them. I made a double batch. They were devoured within hours. Hey, I let the kids have a few…
