    Egg Yolk Paint For Cookies

    1 Egg Yolk -- Beaten
    1/4 Teaspoon Water
    Food Coloring

    1. Prepare one recipe of egg yolk paint for
    every 2 colors.
    2. Combine egg yolk and water and mix well.
    3. Divide into two containers, add food
    coloring.
    4. Keep paint tightly covered until ready to
    use.
    5. If paint thickens, add a few drops of
    water.
    6. This is great to paint on cookies.

    NOTES : Dianne Ward's old faithful best sugar
    cookie recipe from a 1969 Tupperware catalog.
    ALWAYS roll these or any other rolled light
    colored cookie dough in confectioner's sugar,
    not flour. There will be no floury taste in
    the baked cookie and they will be crisper.
    Chocolate dough could be rolled out on cocoa
    powder.
