Thanks.itslisa said:Sure!
Egg Yolk Tempera
INGREDIENTS:
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
5 drops food coloring
DIRECTIONS:
Mix egg yolk and water.
Divide into dishes for as many colors as you want to make.
Add food coloring to get shade desired (e.g., 2 Red plus 2 Yellow for Orange; 3 Blue for Blue).
Paint on unbaked cookies and bake as you normally would.
Cookies will come out with shiny color finish.
*This makes a shiny gloss finish on most any cookie. Works best on light color cookies, like sugar cookie cutouts. Depending on the color you are going for, you will probably need between 2 and 8 drops of food coloring." Original recipe yield: 1 quarter cup.
Lisa's notes:
Most often, I use small Pyrex custard dishes for this project. I have also used kitchen Dixie cups in the past. Oh, and make the colors a bit darker than you want --- they are lighter n the cookie.
