Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 4 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients. Add butter, egg, milk, and extract. Mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This helps to prevent the dough from spreading while baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Dust your surface with flour and use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the floured surface.
- Use cookie cutters to cut shapes from the dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the cookies are lightly brown around the edges, about 7 minutes.
- Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool before decorating with royal icing.

Notes
- Use the step-by-step instructions in the blog post to decorate each cookie.
- Premade Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough can be used to create these cookies as well. Simply add 1/4 cup of flour to the dough, combine well, and roll as directed.
- Let the icing dry on a flat surface so the wet icing doesn't shift and ruin your designs.
- Use a gentle hand when dragging the scribe to keep the mosaic pattern sharp.
- Keep a small offset spatula on hand for quick cleanups around the edges.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container for long-lasting freshness.
- A freezer-safe container keeps decorated cookies perfect for weeks.
