Cookies suitable to 'paint'

Years ago(maybe 25ish!) on What Now they have a recipe for some shortbread like biscuits that you painted a decoration on with food colouring/egg yolk before baking.My kids and I made them quite a few times, but sadly, I lost the recipe. I'd love to get a recipe for something like these again. The biscuits rose slightly, but stayed even, and smooth after cooking so the pattern didnt get messed up. I've tried shortbread recipes since, but they always expand and develop ridges, so the pattern on the top just turns into a blurry mess! Any ideas!
