Thank You Notes

I saw the idea somewhere online to write thank you notes for teachers on decorated biscuits. It is so genius, I can’t believe it never occurred to me before! So here’s how I made mine:

To decorate with royal icing, I just buy boxed ‘royal icing’ to which you add water. If that is not available where you live, you can mix icing/powdered sugar with a little meringue powder (500g sugar to 55g meringue powder).

Simply flood your cookie with the plain royal icing, and when completely dry and firm, draw the lines and writing with edible pens. So simple, but so effective!
