These Sugar Cookies Really Rock!
These sweet crystals, made from sugar cookie dough and topped with royal icing, are the ultimate rock collection—beautiful, colorful, and totally delicious. As a professional cookie decorator, dreaming up unique designs with a hint of realism is my favorite part of the baking process. These edible gems also embody the whimsy of natural shape and pattern, so don’t be intimidated—the process embraces imperfection, making them the perfect project for a first-time cookie decorator.
3. While your cookies are cooling, prep the royal icing. Hand whisk the meringue powder with ½ cup of water in the bowl of a stand mixer until dissolved and foamy. Add powdered sugar and mix on low speed with paddle attachment until combined then add corn syrup. Mix all ingredients on medium speed for 3 minutes. The finished icing should be firm and hold stiff peaks. Reserve and bag roughly 1 cup of firm consistency white icing for outlines.
6. To finish, I like to dilute a small drop of gel color with water and splatter paint the cookies by flicking the color across the cookie surface with a brush. Finish with edible gold luster dust.
