Adding Pop To A Cookie

When you are decorating a cookie and want to keep things simple but still make an impact, try outlining it with a contrasting color of royal icing.

A white border on the lobster cookie makes the red color pop and enhances the shape of the cookie.

Experiment with unexpected color combinations and have fun.

When using different colors to outline and flood a cookie it's important to let the outline dry before adding the other color.

Use a skewer or toothpick to gently ease the icing into the outline. Now all this lobster needs are two tiny black dots for eyes and it's complete.
