The icing recipe is not hard to make and it can be so much fun to use to make your cookies special.

After you mix your icing you divide it into separate bowls and add your food coloring.  Then put each color into a bottle to use on your cookies.

The next step is to outline each cookie with a single line of your icing around each cookie and let it dry.
