I got those stupid cookies baked. I don’t even like eating cookies.The only reason I like making them is so I can decorate them, tie-dyed fashion.
This year I found a way to be twice as efficient and keep the bowl of mixed colors from muddying up too fast – dip one cookie in plain icing, then dip a second in the colors, but catch the drippy ‘ribbon’ with the plain white cookie! I discovered this too late. The first ones were very distinct in their colors, like little rainbow stripes, but as the icing stiffened up the stripes became less distinct. Oh, well.
