Frilly undies for a tropical getaway

For a friend's bachelorette party, we traveled to Puerto Rico to escape the never-ending Polar Vortex of the Midwest. I wanted to surprise her with something special, but easy to transport. Cookies, of course!

These are made using a heart cookie cookie cutter and chopping off the bottom of the heart. Can you see it?

She's allergic to gluten, so it was tricky to find a sugar cookie recipe that didn't spread. I ended up using this recipe with Cup for Cup gluten free flour mix. It DID spread, but I used the cutter to help shape the cookie while it cooled. That was probably the hardest part!

From there, we used simple royal icing to decorate the cookies with frilly designs.

BTW I found Sweet Sugar Belle which gives the best sugar cookie tips around!
