Princess fairy wands

Our daughter's birthday is on Sunday.  I made these to send with her to school.  Quick easy no Mess NO fuss :). You will need skewers/ lolly sticks, sprinkles and coloured paste if you like.
Cookies
180g flour
50g caster sugar
120g butter
Zest 1 orange / lemon
Icing
120g icing sugar
1 egg white
Turn oven to pre heat @ 180oC (fan 160oC, gas 4).
Put flour,  sugar,  butter and zest into bowl and mix with hand mixer or processor till almost  coming together. 
Line baking tray with parchment paper. Put another piece of parchment on your counter top. Put the mixture on the baking paper on counter top and roll till about 1cm thick.  ( this keeps your work surface clean).
Cut out shapes using cutter(s) and place on baking tray. Push skewers / lolly sticks into the cookies enough do they wont fall out.
Bake for 10 - 12 mins until golden to make sure they are cooked. Allow to cool before removing.
Whisk egg white then beat in icing sugar until you have a thick paste.  Using a teaspoon drizzle or drop icing over cookies then add sprinkles and leave to dry.
