Easy Way to decorate cookies with the kids

[Mama Stu]

This is a very easy and less messy way than frosting to decorate those cut out cookies IMO. Use evaporated milk , seperate into several bowls, put different color food coloring in each. Use an artist paint brush and let each child "paint" the cookies before baking. My kids loved doing this when they were little and now my grandchildren do. The milk gives the cookies kind of a glaze and the kids love the different colors.

Interesting Idea. Does this work for all types of cookies?

I really don't know. The only kind we ever used it on was the cut out sugar cookies. I always made the dough myself. I don't see why it wouldn't work on any cookie though.
