Baking Cookies is a bitch

I have been baking cookies for a long time so you would think that I know what the hell I am doing but unfortunately that is not the case. I have been trying to perfect royal icing and I just can't of course it doesn't help when you decide to do red icing on little gingerbread cookies and it looks like someone stabbed them to death.

I do have the most amazing never fail sugar cookie recipe though that will enable you to make these ugly ass but wonderful tasty cookies yourself in the comfort of your home.
