You will need: our dog bone cookie cutter, paw print cookie cutter, dog house cookie cutter and/or fire hydrant cookie cutter.  1 cup butter (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder, 3 tablespoons Meringue Powder, 1 lb. (4 cups) confectioners' sugar & 5 tablespoons warm water

Directions: Beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix until just combined. Add flour and baking powder in intervals. Dough will seem as if does not have enough moisture but continue to mix with mixer until combined (it will come together when chilled). Divide the dough into four equal parts, shape into four disks, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate about an hour or until firm. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease baking sheets. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, about 1/4 inch thick for crispier cookies and 1/3 inch thick for softer cookies. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until edges just start to turn a golden color. For softer cookies, do not allow the cookies to take on color. Remove from oven, let cool for one minute and then transfer to wire rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool thoroughly before placing uncooked dough on it.

After cookies have cooled, beat Meringue Powder, confectioner's sugar & water until icing forms peaks. Makes 3 cups of royal icing.  If you like, you can tint the icing with a couple drops of food coloring.  Decorate cookies with royal icing.
