Easy and Quick Icing: Put a few spoonfuls on store bought vanilla frosting in a custard cup. Microwave on HIGH for 15 to 20 seconds or until runny. Spread on baked cookies. Let youngsters shake candy sprinkles on top or add a few drops of food colorings to microwaved frosting to make various pastel icings.
Egg Yolk Paint: Blend well 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water. Divide among several small custard cups. Add different food colorings to each to make bright colors. Paint designs with small paint bushes or use Q-tips on unbaked cookies. Bake as recipe directs. If paint thickens on standing, add a few drops of water.
