Edible Cookie Paint

Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 1/3 cup, plus 2 tbsp (100 mL) icing sugar
  • Food coloring paste (or liquid)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small dish mix together egg white and icing sugar with a small whisk or fork. Add liquid or paste food coloring until the desired color is attained (with paste 6 to 8 dabs with the end of a toothpick should do it). Mix until well blended. The consistency will be syrupy. Cover and chill when not using. Keeps well for up to three days in the fridge.
2. The Edible Cookie Paint is used on baked Vanilla Velvet Cookies, not raw cookies. Bake the cookies and allow to cool completely. Brush designs onto baked cookies using a small brush. Bake cookies in a 350°F (180°C) oven for an additional two minutes to set the paint. Allow to cool.
