Steps:
- 1. DIRECTIONS FOR COOKIES In a separate bowl sift together: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. NOTE: once sifted, I whisked to ensure dry ingredients were well combined.
- 2. Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, water, almond extract and vanilla. Mix for about 1 minute, or until well combined.
- 3. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture 2 or 3 tablespoons at a time. Beat until all ingredients are mixed well. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- 4. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut it into desired shapes. NOTE: For my lightly floured surface, I mix cocoa in my flour to prevent white flour spots on the cookies.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Do not over bake. These cookies are better a little soft. Remove for oven and cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes; tranfer to wire rack to completely cool.

- 7. DIRECTIONS FOR GLAZE Place all ingredients, except the food coloring, into a medium sized bowl; whisk to combine. You want a thick syrup. Add more powdered sugar to thicken, and more milk to thin.
- 8. Add the food coloring, whisk well to combined.
- 9. Pour the icing into a condiment bottle. Be sure to put the cap on to ensure it doesn't dry out.
- 10. Make additional colors as desired repeating the above steps.
- 11. To decorate; cover cookie with glaze (your choice of color). To make fun patterns and designs you can pipe a different color onto the cookie while it is still wet, or pipe another color on, after it has dried (for 5 minutes). Just depends what kind of look you like. All of the cookies you see here I've used the wet on wet technique.
- 12. Allow cookies to dry over night. Once dry, cookies should stack nicely without affecting the design.
