It is officially winter. The season of hibernating bears and teddy bear picnics for small cutie pies. These cookies would make the perfect addition! Below is my favorite recipe for cut out cookies and royal icing! Have fun!

- Scant 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Beat butter and sugar.

- Icing:
- Beat ingredients in a mixer bowl on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes.
- If icing is too thick, add more water; if too thin, beat 2 to 3 minutes more.
