I love icing sugar cookies but am nowhere near the skill level to create works of art like these beauties. (See that unicorn there? So good.). I am however, very good at coming up with lazy but pretty solutions, hence the ombre cookie!
Seriously it’s the easiest thing ever, and only takes about 10 seconds per cookie. All you need are sugar cookies iced with royal icing. Once the icing is dry, a drop of food colouring and your index finger will do the rest. I made a quick little video to show you how. Check it out below!
You may need to play around with how much food colouring you use. You want enough so that as you move your finger upwards, it starts to run out. Too much food colouring and you’ll just end up colouring the entire cookie the same shade. It’ll depend on the size of your cookie so play around until you find the perfect amount!
Did you notice I’m on youtube now? I’ll be uploading all my past videos on here too, as well as future ones. Subscribe to be the first to know when a new one is up!
Loving how simple this technique is! These look awesome 🙂
Thanks! I did it completely by accident when decorating gingerbread men at christmas time
