\"\"<\/a>I<\/span>‘ll use any holiday as an excuse to make these delicious \u00a0Iced Cinnamon Sugar Cookies<\/em>. They’re one of our family favorites because they’re not too sweet, so they pair <\/span>perfectly<\/span><\/span> with the icing. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Royal Icing versus Store Bought Icing<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is a basic recipe, so you <\/span>probably<\/span><\/span> have all the ingredients in your panty. You <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> roll out the dough and use your favorite cookie cutters. After seeing so many pictures on Pinterest of cookies decorated with Royal Icing, I wanted to give it a try.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Was it worth it? <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
That’s a good question, and I’ll answer it this way. When I looked on Pinterest and saw all the beautiful cookies, I wanted mine to look like the pictures. <\/span>However<\/span><\/span>, I found I would need to practice a lot to achieve that level of cookie decorating. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Making the Royal Icing was time-consuming, messy, and required a lot of cleanups. Trying to get the icing in the plastic decorating bags was challenging. Decorating the cookies was hard work.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
I wanted to show my family some love on Valentine’s Day with a batch of my delicious Iced Cinnamon Sugar cookies<\/em>. I also wanted them to look Pinterest-worthy. But I was short on time, so after decorating a dozen or so cookies with the royal icing, I switched to the canned frosting.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Using the canned frosting was easier, faster, and required less cleanup. The skill level was minimal, and I was happy with the results. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I microwaved the frosting for a few seconds and then dipped the cookie into the glaze. I added some sprinkles, and they looked awesome. It <\/span>probably<\/span><\/span> took about 15 minutes to do them all, and that made me very happy. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Are the Sugar Cookies Pinterest Worthy?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m not sure, but my friends and family don’t expect perfection in my baking, but they do appreciate my efforts. So, on this busy week, I went with the more relaxed decorating version, which was delicious. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On another day when I have lots of time, I’m determined to give cookie decorating another try. <\/span> But I’m convinced the cookies decorated with canned frosting delivered the same amount of Valentine’s Love<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/div>\n

What are some of your baking tips?<\/h3>\n

Happy Valentine’s Day,<\/div>\n
