Cookie Paint

Yesturday we made Egg Custard and it was a welcome treat for the whole family, but now we have this leftover egg yolk. There are several things we can do with it. You could just add it to an omlete or some scrambled eggs, or you could have some fun with the kids. This is painted onto the cookie before they are baked, making every cookie a work of art. Make sure you put aprons or old clothes on the kids while they are painting, because it will stain.

  1 egg yolk
  2 tsp water
  food coloring

    Beat the egg yolk and water together with a fork. Divide into several small containers. I find old medicine cups work well. Add desired food coloring to get shades you want. Now brush onto unbaked cookies and bake as unsual. This looks so nice without all that added sugar.
