Being that I majored in math... I realised that cooking is like math, the more you practice the more you get better I.e the more you cook the better you get.....So my daughter is having her graduation party, I wanted to make something exciting to share with her friends and I came up with this fancy cookies

For the royal icing place the egg white on a double boiler(placing a pot with water on low heat, then place another pan with the egg white inside the pot of water), whisk the eggs till it gets warm, then you are done.(Essence of puting the eggs on a double boiler is to suppress that raw taste of eggs and it is also safer to eat)
7

Then in a mixer add powdered sugar+ egg white + cinnamon and mix till light and fluffy
8

Then portioned into 3 colours
9

If you are not using immediately then cover with plastic, let the plastic touch the surface of the icing to prevent drying till ready to use

When your cookies are completely cool then use kitchen brush and apply your icing using different colors and designs, I use sprinkles also
