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.

Use you imagination - be creative! Kids love to personalize their own cookies. It also makes a great party activity. Guest decorate and eat their own treats.
