Hi guys! I'm baking a batch of sugar cookies to decorate with royal icing. I've just realized the only flour I have on hand is the self rising kind, would this work? I've never used it with cut cookies, so I'm not so sure. 


Thanks in advance!

Found this on google:


Tip: use self-rising in all-purpose recipes. To substitute self-rising for all-purpose flour, look for recipes calling for at least ½ teaspoon of baking powder per cup of flour. And remember to omit the bakingpowder and salt from the recipe — it's already included in your self-rising flour.

What about recipes using more than 1 teaspoon baking powder per cup of flour? Add enough baking powder on your own to make up the difference.

the cookies will puff up more using self rising so just depends on how crisp/clean you want them to bake up
