Begin bytracing your image onto a piece of tissue paper using an edible ink marker. You can use Google images to find inspiration for your designs. Then, you can either print them out on a piece of paper or draw them yourself. 
Place the tissue paper with the image over a cookiethat has been flooded with royal icing and allowed to dry completely (8-12 hours drying time). This cookie was made using my Orange Vanilla Spice recipe, which is available in my tutorial shop. It measures 3×3″. 
With the image placed over the cookie, go overit again with the edible ink marker. Use a little pressure to be sure that the image transfers onto the icing.The ink willbleed through the tissue paper, transferring your image onto the cookie. 
You’ll have a rough outline to follow, like this: 
Outline and fill in the image with a tip 1 and flood consistency royal icing. 
Then, use a scribe tool or a toothpick to evenly distribute the icing and fix the edges. 
Immediately fill in the lower section with flood consistency icing and a tip 1. I used gray for the lower section to give the impression that it is a reflection of the city skyline. Pipe a border by outlining the edges of the cookie using the black flood consistency icing and tip 1. 
Allow the icing to dry another 6-8 hours before handling the cookie. 
I also used this tissue paper method to make these art deco cookies.
