July 4th Cookies!

If decorating gingerbread houses are for Christmastime, then these cookies are for Independence Day!

I saw these fireworks cookies in a Martha Stewart magazine from a few years ago and I knew I had to try this!  So today Chantelle, Asher, Heidi and I tried it out and had a lot of fun.

Bake sugar cookies and use royal icing. Put about a half cup of white icing into two ziploc bags, then add food coloring.  Snip a very small piece off the corner of the bag and use to make dots and designs! The toothpicks help swirl and make hearts.  After awhile the icing hardens.
