Decorating royal icing sugar cookies with edible prints might be easier than you think! How do you do it? Make sure the icing on your cookies are set on. Print out your images on paper2eat Frosting Sheets and cut them to your preferred size. Apply an edible adhesive to stick your images onto your cookies. If you're feeling artsy, take some of the extra icing, pipe them on the edges, then dip them in some colorful sprinkles! Here's a detailed step-by-step below.

Materials:

• Frosting Sheet (edible print)

• Baked and cooled cookies with fully set royal icing

• Small food-safe brush or clean finger

• Corn syrup or clear piping gel (for adhesive)

• Small spatula or knife

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Royal Icing Base:

• Ensure that the royal icing on your cookies has completely dried. This typically takes 6–8 hours, depending on the thickness of the icing.
  
  

2. Cut the Frosting Sheet:

• Trim the Frosting Sheet to the size and shape of the cookie. Use scissors or a clean craft knife for precision.
  
  

3. Apply the Adhesive:

• Lightly brush a thin layer of corn syrup or clear piping gel over the dried royal icing where the Frosting Sheet will be placed. Use just enough to make the surface tacky but not too wet, as too much moisture can dissolve the Frosting Sheet.
  
  

4. Place the Frosting Sheet:

• Gently peel the backing off the Frosting Sheet. Carefully place the edible print onto the tacky royal icing.
  
  

5. Smooth the Surface:

• Use your fingers or a small spatula to smooth the Frosting Sheet outwards, starting from the center towards the edges where any trapped air can escape, ensuring there are no wrinkles or bubbles. Be gentle.
  
  

6. Allow it to Set:

• Let the cookie sit for a few minutes so the edible print adheres well to the royal icing.
