You will need thicker glaze for outlining and thinner for filling in.
Fill teh condiment bottles with the glaze.







Using the bottle sqeeze an outline around the cookie. If you are going to fill it in with the same color do it right away if you are going to fill in with a different color let the outline dry for 1 hour.



Using the bottle squeeze some glaze into the middle and use the paintbrush to spread it around.



Try new things! Here I squirted in two colors and swirled them with the paint brush.







Let cookies set while the glaze dries. Then you can decorate the tops with food marker, royal icing, or even more glaze.


After you are finished decorating let the cookies set for several hours.
