These cookies are around the size of a quarter and enough to get a sense of the flavor. These cookies are flavored with Mexican vanilla, and hazelnut and cookie butter emulsion. I’m using this as my test because it comes from the same batch where I had the reported flavor, wanting to understand if the cookie itself could be part of the problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba2b2d9202014bb2043643/f5c7b7cc-1e20-43c9-81d7-867f2584d5f3/_06A9127.jpeg Blog - Confectioners Sugar Experiment Part 1 - Make it stand out Powdered sugar is used to create royal icing, a main attribute of decorated sugar cookies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba2b2d9202014bb2043643/66ce8271-e979-4e87-b306-86ce34c96367/_06A9317.jpeg Blog - Confectioners Sugar Experiment Part 1 - Make it stand out Of course, there is variance in the colors of each icing and that’s to be expected.
