I can't help you with gingerbread cookies, though I'm sure someone here has a great recipe for them. :)

As for royal icing, everyone has their own preferred recipe. I use Antonia74's Royal Icing Recipe. I cut the Cream of Tartar in half, because I don't like the aftertaste, and I usually add about 1 tbsp of Almond Extract.

I would recommend watching a few youtube tutorials on royal icing to decide how you want to go about it. There are so many different options for icing consistency, recipes, flavors, and colors, that you really need to play around and find what works best for you.

To start, I'd recommend Haniela's video on royal icing consistency. Also, Sweetambs has a good tutorial, as well. And Julia Usher has a very in-depth video about icing.

If you have a small table-top fan, it will go a long way towards helping with cratering, which is when icing caves in on itself, and is the bane of my cookie decorating experience. Also, a needle tool is excellent for smoothing out icing and getting rid of bubbles. If you don't have one, toothpicks will work. :)

Let me know if you have any specific questions. Hope this helps!

I used a recipe from Montreal Confections on Youtube.

Royal Icing Recipe:

8 tbsp Water
3 tbsp Meringue Powder (I used Wilton brand)
Approximately 6 cups of Powdered Sugar (adding 1 cup at a time)
I used only water and chose not use lemon juice like she did.

Note that this recipe makes quite a bit of icing. I made a large batch of cookies (50 or so cookies) and I had more than enough. You may want to cut the recipe in half.

She also has another video on how to get correct consistency.

I worked with mine until I got close to a "20 second icing" so I could pipe and flood with the same icing.

Also, I highly recommend purchasing a scribe needle tool to smooth out the icing.

I actually use one of these bad boys. http://www.amazon.com/Kemper-Tools-Professional-Needle-Tool/dp/B0023ATIM6 It's great for getting into tight places, or working out beads if you mess up.
