Description
These buttery snowflake-shaped cookies are decorated with vanilla royal icing and painted with a watercolor effect that's both artistic and elegant. Shades of blue wash over the surface of the cookies, and accents of shimmering edible silver leaf add sparkle and dimension. The key to painting on top of royal icing is diluting gel food coloring with a little bit of vodka because the moisture evaporates quickly and leaves the beautiful color behind. With their rich flavor and glossy finish, these cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful — a showstopper treat for any winter celebration.
