    [...] Step 5: - Marbling – Drag a toothpick through the wet icing, starting from the outside and working your way to the center of the cookie. If you think of your cookie as a clock, I dragged the icing at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock, so that the circle was split into four quarters, and then split those sections in half. If you're particular about every line being perfectly white, with no little dabs of color, wipe your toothpick between each drag. Working quickly is important as the royal icing starts to set almost immediately. For a video on how to marble cookies, click here. [...]
