9. Place cookies to wire racks to cool.

10. To make Frosting:

11. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, egg white powder, with water (start with 1-2 tablespoons, add more water to get spreadable consistency).
12. Divide into as many bowls depending on number of colors you want.
13. Add food coloring until you reach the desired intensity.
14. Pipe and spread icing over the entire top cookie; allow it to harden before piping in more decorative elements; make sure to leave the bottom cookie alone (no icing required there); then allow the additional icing to harden/dry as well.

15. To finish:
