Gather Your Ingredients
Before you can start creating your holiday painted cookies, you'll need to gather all of your ingredients and supplies. For the cookie dough, you can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe or a pre-made dough from the store. You'll also need food coloring in various colors, paintbrushes, and small bowls for mixing the colors. Make sure to have enough space to work and some parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat to place your cookies on.
Get Creative with Your Colors
Now comes the fun part – mixing and creating your colors! Start by mixing a few drops of food coloring with a small amount of water in a bowl. Use separate bowls for each color you want to create. For more vibrant colors, use less water, and for lighter shades, add more water. You can also mix colors together to create new shades. Get creative and have fun experimenting with different color combinations!
Paint Your Cookies
Once you have your cookie dough rolled out and cut into your desired shapes, it's time to start painting! Use your paintbrush to carefully apply the colors to your cookies, just like you would with paint on a canvas. If you make a mistake or want to change the design, simply use a damp paper towel to wipe off the color and start again. Once you're happy with your design, bake the cookies according to your recipe's instructions.
Final Touches
Once your holiday painted cookies have cooled, you can add some final touches to make them even more festive. You can use edible glitter or sprinkles to add some sparkle and shine to your cookies. You can also use a small amount of white icing to add details or outlines to your design. Let your creativity run wild and have fun adding those finishing touches to your cookies.
Now that you have a delicious and beautifully decorated batch of holiday painted cookies, you can share them with your loved ones or enjoy them yourself. Happy holidays and happy baking!
