Instructions
Cut the cookies from a chilled sheet of cookie dough.
Bake the cookies at 350˚ Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes.
Make a batch of royal icing from scratch or a mix. The icing should hold a stiff peak.
Add a teaspoon of water at a time to the royal icing to thin it to flood consistency. To test the consistency, take a scoop of icing out of the bowl and drop it back in. It should take 15 to 20 seconds to be completely smooth.
Fit a decorating bag with a coupler and a tip 3. Fill the bag with the white flood consistency icing.
Ice the cookies with the white flood consistency icing. Use a scribe tool to help shape the icing.
Allow the icing to dry completely (overnight is best).
Place a drop of pink, blue, and yellow food coloring into a paint palette or 3 small dishes. Add a few drops of vodka or grain alcohol.
Apply the food coloring to a zip top bag with a brush.
Spray the food coloring with vodka or grain alcohol.
Turn the bag over onto an iced cookie.
Lift the bag and press it down in a few different places to cover the entire surface.

Hi, I'm Amber! My cookie decorating tutorials are filmed in my studio in upstate, New York. I'm a graduate of the baking and pastry program at the Culinary Institute of America and I've been decorating cookies professionally for over 12 years! I love sharing my techniques and I post cookie decorating tutorials with step-by-step instructions here on my KZbin channel every week. Let me know if you have any suggestions for upcoming videos!

That's genius, an absolute game changer technique for those of us with not much artistic ability. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent. Your cookies are beautiful and your videos inspiring!

[@sphagnum2000]

Thanks for the great tip. I'm always looking for ways to simplify and reduce waste. So this is something I might try. I really loved your beginner Xmas video too with wet on wet technique. It was so simple and people were so impressed with the results.

[@susanb1352]

These are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents!

Amber! These are beautiful! I could see butterfly and flower cookies like this. That is really awesome!

[@Sweetambs]

Thank you so much, Sherry! Hani recently made butterflies with this technique. She’ll probably be posting the video soon ☺️

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@danielapagliaro8025]

Love these! Everything you do is perfection! I am wondering if the watercolor effects the dried icing at all? Thank you.

[@ellame2014]

😍😍😍

[@byronchandler5000]

Those are some beautiful eggs, Amber, and you yourself look so beautiful with the curls in your hair. What's your honest opinion on different slippers like ruby or glass? I sent you lots of love, sweetie.

[@Sweetambs]

Thank you, Byron! I think ruby slippers and glass slippers are beautiful. I have a keychain with some sparkly ruby slippers that my grandmother gave me 😄

[@lauravasquez2200]

Beautiful 💜💜💜Thanks for the tip I wanted to ask if using vodka is safe for children to eat the cookies. Thank you😊

[@cord0093]

The vodka evaporates, so it's safe

[@lovelyrose1775]

This is amazing. What can I use instead of alcohol?

[@Sweetambs]

Thank you! You can just use water instead ☺️ this post has more information about it www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/gold-royal-icing-alternatives-to-alcohol/

[@ClaudeS39]

Is there a non-alcoholic option? I’d like to make this with the kids. Thanks

[@Sweetambs]
