Coloring Cookie Dough

By Wendy Kalen

Cookie dough can be easily colored with paste food color.

How to Color Cookie Dough:

  1. Divide the dough into as many pieces as you want different colors.
  2. To each piece of dough, using a toothpick, add a small dab of paste color.
  3. 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.
