If you make it a little bit too loose, you can always add a little bit more confectioner sugar in. It’ll fully dry after like six hours, but it’ll start to get a little bit crusty and a little bit thick. The most important thing to do and I know it feels like you don’t have to, I thought I didn’t have to when I first started working with royal icing, but it’s resting the royal icing. You’re going to decorate your cookies, and they’re going to look amazing. And then 30 minutes later, they’re going to bubble up on top of the cookies, and you don’t want that.

"Ted Lasso" has won multiple Emmy awards and Golden Globes for its first two seasons, but this month it's getting something new: an official ice cream flavor. The hit Apple TV+ series has partnered with Ohio-based Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams to put out a new limited edition flavor just in time for the premiere of the show's third season. CNBC Make It tried out the new ice cream ahead of its release. The collaboration has been in the works for about a year, representatives for Jeni's tell CNBC Make It, and it will be available at all Jeni's Scoop Shops. Customers who don't live near a scoop shop will be able to order the flavor off the Jeni's website for $12 per pint.

☆ I'll save $200 per month in 2023 thanks to a quick and easy money move I make every December

It's called a subscription audit, and it's saving me more than $200 per month going into 2023. And nearly 90% of those surveyed underestimated the total cost of their subscriptions, often by hundreds of dollars. I'm no exception, as underused subscriptions seem to accumulate such as barnacles on my balance sheet throughout the year. But with my annual end-of-year subscription audit, I shaved $209 off my monthly budget by canceling or reducing subscriptions. Alternatively, you can save money by switching to a cheaper plan with fewer services, as I did with my Adobe Creative Cloud membership.

☆ December is the month for eating all the cookies
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-10 | by ( Casey Barber | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Editor’s Note: Food writer Casey Barber says December is the month for baking cookies. Freezing cookies can also help save time in the long run by allowing you to start your holiday baking early. Lin makes cookies weeks in advance of his parties and thaws them at room temperature up to two days before an event. If you are short on timeBar cookies are Lin’s secret weapon when it comes to holiday baking. Many cookies, such as Lin’s red velvet crackle cookies, require that the dough be chilled before portioning and rolling, so it’s key to take that into consideration.

☆ One Dough, Six Cookies
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( Yewande Komolafe | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

One Dough, Six Spicy Cookies With this simple shortbread recipe, you can make six different holiday cookies to share. This forgiving dough turns into the most delicious shortbread by itself — and then can transform into a number of cookies: clever snappy, jammy, tender, chocolaty treats in different sizes, shapes and designs. You can certainly take on one recipe at a time, or you can make all six in a single day. To prepare impromptu batches throughout the season, keep the dough wrapped in the refrigerator and bring it out when cravings strike. You probably already have most of the additions for the variations — they’re pantry staples — but stock up on more for endless cookies.

Taste that rich filling for evidence of the Arab influence that infuses Sicilian cuisine: The candied citrus that often flavors the creamy interior remains beloved throughout the Middle East. In the 1990s, the cake became a menu star as a lava cake or molten chocolate cake. A soft, flaky dough is shaped into a plump half-moon that barely contains the sweet filling, then topped with a light blanket of powdered sugar. Variations on medovik differ widely, but the most popular takes incorporate one of two very Russian ingredients into the sweet filling.
