Royal Icing Decorating: 

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl mixing on medium speed for 4 minutes. If icing isn’t stiff enough, you’ll want to add 1/4 cup powder sugar until stiff. Spoon the icing into piping bags using a #2 tip.

Following the examples in the picture use the icing to make lines on each end of the cookies. Draw the lines in a curved shape – not just a straight line. In the center of the cookie, draw a short line and then cross this line with three small lines. Allow to dry completely.
