These cookies would be fun to use paint bushes on for the striped cookies too, similar to the Christmas “PaintBrush Cookies that are also decorated with sprinkles too. You dip the paint brushes into the different colored icing to paint the icing onto the cookies when doing same. A different paint brush will be in each individual colored icings in bowls instead of using the icing bags.
Thank you, Peggy. Great suggestion!
where’s the rest of the process pictures? is the stripe pic really the last one?
Hi Nicole,
The video in this post walks you through the whole process for making the Watercolor Love Cookies and we also have a link to all of the instructions here. Once you dip the cookies in the royal icing, transfer them to a cooling rack and top with sprinkles. Once you have finished decorating them, let them completely dry for about 24 hours.
Thank you!
