Icing different patterns onto sugar cookies and then mixing them together on a tray can make for a striking display. It's also fun to choose unexpected color combinations.
Usually I outline and fill with the same color of icing but this time I chose to outline the cookies with a soft yellow and then flood them with lavender. Bright red icing added in dots, stripes and a honeycomb pattern add brightness and interest.

| Outline with icing that is the consistency of yogurt. Let that dry for at least 10 minutes and then flood the cookie with another color. Use a skewer to fill in all the gaps. |
 |
| Gently shake the cookie to help the icing settle and remove air bubbles. Let the cookies dry before adding patterns in another color. |
Use piping consistency icing and a #1 pastry tip when you add your patterns.
