When using the 3 colors of red, white, too blueish to drizzle the cookies, the cookies tin can easily teach messy looking.  

So nosotros tried several ways of drizzling them to run across what looked best.  We decided a "cross-hatch" drizzle pattern, alongside the scarlet too blueish going i management too the white going the reverse direction, looked best.  

Also, the cookies looked best when the white drizzle goes on last, crossing OVER the scarlet too blueish ... which allows the white to yet have got a petty "pop" without getting lost nether the other colors.

We decided a "cross-hatch" drizzle pattern, alongside the scarlet too blueish going i management too the white going the reverse direction, looked best.
