Cookie dough can be easily colored with paste food color.
How to Color Cookie Dough:
- Divide the dough into as many pieces as you want different colors.
- To each piece of dough, using a toothpick, add a small dab of paste color.
- Knead the color into the dough until it is evenly distributed.
Tips:
- Using paste food color is preferred because liquid food color may water down the dough and make it unusable.
- The color may stain your hands temporarily, so you may want to wear disposable gloves.
