The holidays are behind us and the longest part of winter is now before us. Often the days are so cold here that getting outdoors to play is just not possible. We therefore have to get creative in the small spaces we have available. I stumbled across edible icing markers last week and realized they would make an amazing afternoon project. My kids had a blast making cookies, then going to town drawing all over them!

Any good sugar cookie and icing recipe will work here – use your favorite! I used this Holiday Cookie Recipe from Cooks Illustrated. The glaze needs to be completely dry before the markers will work well. I let mine sit for 24 hours before decorating. The markers were purchased at Michael’s.

Delicious doodling :)
