They sell food coloring markers now, so it seemed like a good idea to make some sugar cookies and color them with the markers. However, we found out 3 things that we did thing of (I am speaking of Grandma Leslie and myself). First, these markers do not write well on sugar cookies, unless you put the what sugary coating on them first (which I did not have). Second, they marker gets on your skin, and it doesn't come off like washable markers do (so now everyone has colored fingers). Third, some of the kids didn't want to eat the cookies because they had marker on them. Well, it sounded like a good idea at the time.

Food coloring markers sound like fun to me! We usually just frost cookies with different colored frosting. What do you think they'd work well on?
I figure what with dyeing eggs and all, colored fingers are just part of Easter!

Well, they have a sugared coated frosting you put on top. Then, you wait for it to harden before you decorate. It is a white coating. You can find it in the area with all of the rest of the cake decorating supplies. We are so far out of the city, that if we don't have it, I am not going to run out and get it the same day.
Yeah, I remember a few years back, I got a package of Pop Tarts that came with a food marker that you could use to draw on the frosting portion of the Tart. It was pretty cool (and artistic)!
If it's anything like the frosting for Pop Tarts, that sounds like just a royal icing or similar frosting to me; it can be made with egg whites, powdered sugar, and water. :)
