So, let's share you the recipe for this little cute cookies~
By the way, the recipe retrieved from 小本厨房

Butter 60g
Sugar 40g
Egg 30g
Vanilla Essence 1/4 teaspoon
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Flour 150g

Ingredients B:
Icing Sugar 180g
Egg White 30g
Lemon Juice 1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla Essence 1/4 teaspoon
Food colouring

Directions A:
1. Put the butter in room temperature to soften it. Beat it with electronic mixer, add in sugar gradually, until light and fluffy.
2. Slowly add in egg yolk, vanilla essence and salt, beat well.
3. Add in flour and knead it with hand.
4. Roll the dough for about 0.5mm, cut it with any favourite cookies cutter. Place the cut dough on pan and poke some holes with toothpick, then send into oven for 20-25 minutes, 160 degree celcius. 
5. Let the cookies cool and decorate with royal icing.

Directions B:
1. Sift icing sugar into a bowl, add in egg white and stir well. Add in lemon juice and vanilla essence. Stir well.
2. Divide the royal icing into three bowls (I use 3 colours). Each colour scope about 1 or 2 spoons into three piping bag, to draw outline.
Thicker one as picture 7 shown.
Thinner texture as picture 6 shown.
3. Leftover royal icing add little water to make it thinner. Put aside.
4. Place the cooled cookies on rack and decorate.

Hmmm...today is the first time I make Royal Icing Butter Cookies
The shape, the decorations not really nice
But, nevermind, practices make perfect!

So, here is what I made~~
