  2. Make royal icing following recipe and divide into three bowls. Using icing colors, tint one bowl ivory, one bowl moss green, and one bowl royal blue. Thin to 20-drop count and place into disposable bags. Cut 1/4" off end of bags and flood cookies to within 1/8"-1/4" of edges; allow to dry overnight.
  3. In one bowl, mix white-white and lemon extract to create thin white liquid. In a second bowl, mix white-white, brown icing color and lemon extract to get a thin brown liquid.
