Lightly press the letter cutters into the raw dough to make an imprint. Bake the cookies according to the recipe instructions. Fill 3 tipless decorating bags with white, pink, and green flood consistency royal icing. Secure the top of the bags with a bag tie or rubber band to prevent the icing from spilling out. Cut tiny openings in the tip of the bags. Working with one section at a time, fill in the area around the letter with white flood consistency icing. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Pipe small dots of icing in the small spaces inside the letters and allow them to crust over. While the white icing is still wet, pipe a swirl of pink flood consistency icing (1, 2, or 3 swirls depending on how many roses you can fit into the space). Use the scribe tool to swirl the icing into a rose, starting with a tight swirl at the top and making larger, curved sweeping motions underneath. Pipe dots next to the roses with the green flood consistency icing. Pull the scribe tool through the dots to shape them into leaves. Pipe over the small dots in the spaces inside the letters. The small dots will prevent the icing from caving in as it dries. Pipe a squiggly line of icing in the letters with the green flood consistency icing. Allow the icing to dry for 15-20 minutes. Fill in the letters with green flood consistency icing, piping over the squiggly lines. The lines will prevent the icing from caving in as it dries. Allow the icing to dry completely (I let mine dry overnight). Fit a decorating bag with a coupler and a decorating tip 1.5. Fill the bag with blue medium consistency royal icing. Secure the top of the bags with a bag tie or rubber band. Outline the letters with the blue medium consistency icing. Use a scribe tool or a dry decorator brush to help shape the outline as needed. Outline the cookie with the blue medium consistency icing. Allow the icing to dry for about an hour before packaging the cookies.
