- When the dough is ready, divide it into two portions and then flatten it a little bit in between the waxed paper sheets. Put in the refrigerator for about one hour.
- Meanwhile, make the egg yolk glaze in a bowl by mixing water, egg yolk, and food colouring.
- When the dough has been chilled, put it on a lightly floured surface. Roll and with the help of cookie cutters, cut the dough into your desired shapes.
- Grease the cookie sheet lightly and move the cookies onto the sheet. Brush them with glaze.
- Bake the cookies for 5-7 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure that the cookies are not turned brown.
- When the cookies are being baked, make the decorative icing by mixing egg whites, powdered sugar, and milk.
- Take out the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Add the white icing to a pastry bag and decorate the cookies.
