How to Make Delicious Kitty Sugar Frosting Cookies at Home?

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of low-gluten flour for the cookies?
A: It’s best to use low-gluten flour for a tender texture, but if unavailable, regular flour can be used with a slight difference in texture.

Q: Is it necessary to let the icing dry between colors?
