Adding glitter to cookies is a fun and festive way to decorate them! Here's how you can do it:
1. Choose Your Glitter
- Edible Glitter: This is the safest option for consuming. You can find edible glitter in various colors and sizes at most baking supply stores or online.
- Non-Edible Glitter: This type of glitter is not meant for consumption and should only be used for decorative purposes.
2. Prepare Your Cookies
- Ensure your cookies are completely cooled before adding glitter.
- If you're using frosting or icing, apply it to the cookies first and let it set slightly.
3. Apply the Glitter
- Using a Brush: Gently brush glitter onto the frosting or icing.
- Using Your Fingers: Carefully press glitter onto the cookies.
- Using a Spray Bottle: Mix edible glitter with a small amount of water in a spray bottle and lightly mist the cookies.
4. Let the Glitter Set
- Allow the glitter to dry completely before packaging or serving the cookies.
5. Store Your Cookies
- Store glitter cookies in an airtight container to prevent the glitter from falling off.
Remember, glitter can be messy, so work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves if desired.
