Pamela's Decorative Frosting Decorated Cookies

Use Royal Icing recipe (below). Add liquid food coloring for pastels or powdered food coloring for brighter colors. Spread different colors on cookies in different shapes, wait a few minutes, then use a toothpick to drag through the adjoining color, forming scrolls and curlicues. Don't forget the confetti sprinkles* (found in Pamela's Confetti Frosting), nonpareils*, and colored crystal sugars*. Royal icing will harden when it dries, so add a few drops of water to keep icing frostable or thin for a glaze effect.
