Printing photos on cookies is an adorable and creative way to personalize your treats for a special event or birthday party. By printing your child's face on her own cookies, you can be sure that she will feel like a celebrity and remember this special dessert for years to come. You can print your own picture-cookies at home, but you do need a lot of specialized equipment, so you should only attempt this if you plan on printing photo cookies often.
Step 1
Upload desired pictures onto Photo Express and adjust according to your liking, such as cropping and centering the image you have chosen.
