Make vanilla cookie dough by mixing butter, sugar, egg, and plain flour.

Knead the dough together and let it rest.

Roll out the dough and cut it into shapes, then refrigerate the cut shapes.

Bake the cookies in an oven at 170 to 180 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes.

Once baked, take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool.

Outline the cookies using a piping bag, lifting up between each point to create straight lines.

Fill in the outlined cookies with royal icing immediately after outlining.

If air bubbles appear in the icing, pop them with a needle while the icing is still wet.

Let the cookies dry for about four hours to overnight, depending on their size and color.

Pipe details on top of the dried cookies using a fine tip and fresh royal icing.

Add color by piping on flowers, dots, or swags with colored icing.
