Technicolor cookies

Cookies artfully decorated with royal icing are a holiday classic, but their fine details and beautiful colors can take hours to achieve. Not with these gorgeous cookies. Once the icing is made and stained, it takes only a few minutes to decorate. The icing is simply poured over the cookies, a technique inspired by the one used to pour swirly colors of mirror glaze over smooth cakes. (For a quicker alternative to royal icing, simply dip or drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate.) No two…

Freeze-dried berries give these futuristic cookies their vibrant swirly color.

These fun and ultra delicious cookies are so fun to make and taste even better! They come together very quickly and just need to be given several hours to set completely before eating and sharing. Feel free to eat these without the icing (and related setting time)- they’re incredible on their own!

It all begins with an idea.
