Cookie Cottages How-To

Use royal icing -- piped from a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off -- to hold houses
together and "glue on" decorations. When adhering pieces, hold in place one minute to set.

1. With a serrated knife, saw a graham cracker into 2 squares. Saw off top corners of another
cracker to create a peaked roof; make 2.

2. Pipe icing onto bottom and straight edges of a peaked piece. Place on an upside-down paper
plate; use a small object, such as a spice jar, to prop it up. Repeat to pipe icing onto edges of a
square piece, and adhere it to peaked cracker. Remove spice jar, and adhere other pieces with
icing.

3. Saw a cracker into 2 squares for the roof. If desired, spread icing onto roof pieces and decorate
with candy; let dry. Pipe icing onto top edges of house, and adhere roof pieces. To display, place
plates on a tray and cover with shredded coconut snow.
