How to draw on food: breakfast (on bite-size cookies)
I made these mini breakfast cookies for a friend and kid-filled brunch (as in, the guests were friends and little kids, not a brunch in which friends and kids are the main course). Bite-size cookies are perfect for tiny hands, and the decor? It was a brunch after all.

I drew my designs on cookies topped with royal icing, but remember you can draw these on the surface of your choice: marshmallows, fondant, gum paste...

*Find the cutter, frosting bag, coupler, tip and squeeze bottle in the baking aisle of your craft store. You can find coloring and writers there, too, but I prefer the slightly harder to find Americolor Soft Gel Paste (Bright White) and Americolor Gourmet Writers (you'll need black, red, pink, yellow, orange, and brown for these)

Step 1
prepare your cookies
Bake cookies according to recipe and let cool. Prepare frosting and mix about 1 cup white. Prepare frosting bag with coupler and tip and fill half full with about 1/2 cup of the white and tie closed tightly with a rubber band. Cover reserved frosting. Pipe an outline on the cookies and let set about 15 minutes. Thin remaining frosting with water, a few drops at a time, until the consistency of thick glue (don't make it toooooo runny, err on the side of too thick). With a squeeze bottle or small spoon, pour a little frosting in the center of the cookie and let it flood to the edges, encouraging it with a small knife or spatula. Let set well, at least a few hours, overnight preferred.
