IF it is the actual cooked cookie - then maybe i can help.

I very lightly brushed the edges of my cookies with sugar glue - then rolled the edges in edible gold glittler... as seen un the above link... not the sharpest or clearest shots sorry - but the pics will give you a general idea...

Have you tried using colored sparkling sugar? I get mine at a baking supply shop but some of the decorator sugars at Michael's/Hobby Lobby are really sparkly/iridescent. Sometimes I use the sanding sugar and sometimes the sugar crystals, depending on what color I need/can find. I sell little cutout cookies covered in sugar and everyone always asks for the "sparkly cookies." Recently I got some Wilton silver glitter to use on cupcakes and I did not find it very sparkly at all. I'd rather use the sparkly sugar!
 

I use disco dust when I want my cookies and cupcakes to sparke. I've used it on icing alone as well as in conjunction with sanding sugar and they always have a nice sparke. I prefer the rainbow disco dust for a generic sparkle.

Disco dust is finely ground plastic, did you know that?

I made some really sparkly glitter by just adding color to pasterized egg white.  I used about 1/4 c.egg whites and just a couple drops of gel color and spread it out on a glass 9x13 pan and let it dry throughly(over night at least)and then scraped it off with a metal spatula.  I don't know if you could sprinkle it on while the RI is wet without having it melt into the icing. 

Have you tried Wilton edible glitter? I've never tried it but I have seen it in the store.

I order all mine from this site, http://www.edible-glitter.co.uk/acatalog/Edible-Glitters.html

It's actually edible, not just non-toxic like disco dust.

Is disco dust and edible glitter the same?i just want to be sure that everything I use is safe. I don't care too much if I kill some of my relatives but not my friends

fearless--edible glitter is made from gum arabic and is edible--it is flakey and light and key here is that it dissolves in water

 

disco dust is different from edible glitter-- it is not made from gum arabic --it's a micro particle of some kind--and does not dissolve in water and is not edible in the sense of being digestible--it is a hot topic item in the cake world--some peeps think it's ok to use and some do not think it's ok--they certainly make and sell a ton of if it

 

i myself do not use it on edibles fwiw

 

(hey--everytime i spell check my computer freezes so pls excuse typos thanks)
