cookies.....

so i wanted to place cookies that were personalized in front of our bridal party with their names on them and what they were....ex...Ashley MOH....i called up my local bakery who I love and they told me $4 a cookie...that sounded alittle high ....has ne one else personalized cookies and does this sound about right???

I have personalizied cookies before, and I actually paid more

Make your own cookies! Make a sugar cookie recipe, use pretty cookies cutters (get one from michaels) and then make this icing!!

Royal Icing

This smooth, hard-drying icing is perfect for making decorations that last. It is also useful as a 'cement' to fasten decorations together. Royal icing is edible, but not recommended for icing cakes.

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Wilton Meringue Powder
1 lb. (4 cups) confectioners' sugar (about 1lb.)
6 Tablespoons warm water*
Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer). Recipe makes 3 cups.

NOTE: Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency.

* For stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.

**When using large countertop mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.

Thinned Royal Icing: To thin for pouring, add 1 teaspoon water per cup of royal icing. Use grease-free spoon or spatula to stir slowly. Add ½ teaspoon water at a time until you reach proper consistency.

Use a ziplock baggie with a small hole cut in one corner to pour the icing on your cookies, place in cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon! I bet you the whole project will cost $15!

Im doing my own, my mom used to do them as her job when I was younger and she is making them for me....

I just want their innitials on my cookies though, i do not like the printed ones...

oh sorry, didnt answer the question...

thats the average, 3.50 is the lowest and they wee not nice... they go allthe way to ive seen 8.50!
