Cookie Painting Name: Sonja Lloyd Base: Army War College Recipe: Any Sugar cookie dough works great with this. Even when you bake a pie you can top the pie with a solid crust cover and the child can paint a scene on this. Kids love this and they love to eat it and see you eat it. Egg yolks and food coloring make paints that look shiny and vibrant when baked on a cookie canvas. Ingredients 4 eggs Food coloring (your choice of colors) Directions To make the egg yolk paint, first separate the eggs. Then pour the yolk into a cup and beat it with a fork until smooth. Add 5 to 6 drops of food coloring and beat until the color is evenly distributed. Repeat with the remaining eggs and colors. TIP: Have kids pretend they're painting with watercolors and let their imaginations loose. Even mistakes will taste good. Using the paints and a brush, kids can paint anything--a landscape, animal or abstract design. Chill these works of art until firm. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Let set on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool. Makes 8 to 12. KIDS' COOKING SKILLS: Use this recipe to teach your kids how to separate eggs and work with food coloring.
