Notes

Tips for coloring the cookie dough:

Use a toothpick to add just a little bit of food coloring at a time. Stop to check the color often, if it is too light, add a little more color and continue blending until the desired shade is reached. Be sure to tint dough a little darker than you would tint icing, because once the cookies are baked they will be lighter in color than the dough appears before baking.
