📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bake your sugar cookies in graduation-themed shapes (caps, diplomas) after rolling the dough to an even thickness. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
2
Prepare two consistencies of white royal icing: a thick one for outlining and a thinner, flood-consistency one for filling.

3
Using a piping bag, outline the edges of each cookie with the thick icing to create a dam.
4
Fill the center of the outlined cookies with the thinner icing. Use a toothpick to guide it into the corners. Let the icing dry for a few hours until the surface is hard.
5
Once the base is dry, use the thick icing to pipe details like tassels or names.
6
Mix a small amount of gold lustre dust with a drop of clear vanilla extract to create a metallic paint.
