Snowflake Cookies

I love that Christmas gives you an excuse to bake! I made these cookies for a Christmas party that one of husband's bosses had a couple weeks ago. They were a big hit!

Please ignore the ugly ones...I do not claim to be talented in an artistic way...

I used Alton Brown's recipe for Sugar Cookies and Martha Stewart's recipe for Royal Icing.

I think they turned out OK for a first try...I made other cookies while I was visiting Texas for my sister's wedding - I'll post those soon with links to the recipes...I think they turned out better looking - I used different recipes and the consistency of the icing was easier to work with.
