One of my fellow blogger friends, Coupon Goddess posted that she had made some yummy coffee cookies the other day and I was itching to bake something different last week and these cookies looks so yummy and easy. I also had never tried icing anything in royal icing and her cookies looked so beautiful I decided to give that a try too.
Find the recipe here: http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2010/01/coffee-sugar-cookies.html
These are so yummy and a real crowd pleaser. They are good just plain, with a good cup of favored coffee they would be great! But they aren't very sweet on their own, they need a little extra sweetness.
Royal icing did the trick. I made mine a little too thick and it set up very fast. I was afraid it would be too runny, next time I know. And the chocolate drizzle, you will laugh, it is a Toaster Strudel icing pack. My son doesn't like icing smeared on his Toaster Strudel so I just pop the unused packs in the freezer and save them.
These turned out wonderful and I am making them again on Valentines Day this year. The pink sugar crystals sprinkled in the royal icing was very pretty too and gave a nice finish to the cookies that had some imperfections in the icing.
There is link to Coupon Goddess blog to the right of the post. She is a fellow couponer and super sweet person.
Check out her blog sometime.
