It really depends on the look you want. My preferred way is to use fondant, with royal icing accents. But some cookie designs lend themselves better to a flood type of icing.

Well the easiest way is fondant for sure.

I hear that fondant is the easiest way but I like RI. If flavored right...YUM!

I prefer Antonia74's royal icing. It doesn't dry rock hard like the royal icing you use on gingerbread houses - it dries hard enough to stack and bag, but the underneath layer (next to the cookie) stays soft.

I think it's a matter of preference for the taste and the medium... if just find RI easier for me to work with.

Definately a matter of preference as said above.
I now like to use glace, but if i'm in a rush, i'll use fondant. Some like to use MMF or RBC.
I recommend you try each option and decide what taste you like and what's easier for you to do. Good luck!

I Love to use fondant. You can bake, decorate, and bag all in one night.
