When using the 3 colors of red, white, as well as bluish to drizzle the cookies, the cookies tin easily larn messy looking.
So nosotros tried several ways of drizzling them to encounter what looked best. We decided a "cross-hatch" drizzle pattern, alongside the crimson as well as bluish going 1 management as well as the white going the contrary direction, looked best.
Also, the cookies looked best when the white drizzle goes on last, crossing OVER the crimson as well as bluish ... which allows the white to nonetheless have got a lilliputian "pop" without getting lost nether the other colors.
