Ingredients and substitutes
- Sugar - I use powdered sugar for this and it really makes a huge difference in the texture and consistency of the dough.
- Cornstarch - This usually adds a shortbread kinda texture to the cookie.
- Baking Powder - It's a small amount because I want them light and fluffy, but mostly chewy.
- Vanilla - Always a great flavor with any cookie. And yet, if you ever want to experiment - try rose extract... out of this world.

Thats cool...will try for sure. Just wanted to know if these cookies can be used for royal icing work as well? Thank you in advance.

Thansk Poornima. You can use royal icing on these cookies but the sprinkles give it a texture so the royal icing will not set smooth. I would recommend using my eggless sugar cookies which would be perfect for royal icing work.
