Working with Tinted Cookie Dough
Make any cookie merrier by adding color to the dough! Just a little icing color will make it easy to create festive cookies like the two-tone twists shown here.
Skill Level:
None
Additional Information
Step 1
Tint dough a little darker than you would tint icing; cookies will bake lighter than dough appears. After dough is mixed, take out the portion to be tinted. Add just a little color with a toothpick. Gently blend color into dough using stand mixer paddle attachment, or knead in by hand. Stop to check the color. If it is too light, add a little more color and continue mixing until desired shade is reached.
Step 2
For two-tone twists, roll logs of tinted and plain dough, about 1/2 in. diameter. Place side by side.
Step 3
Starting at one end, twist logs together. Shape as needed to eliminate any gaps. Curve at the top to create a candy cane shape.
Step 4
Bake and cool.

I love doing this! I also do this with a log of sugar cookie dough and make swirl cookies! Very easy way to dress 'em up! :)

this is a fun thing to do with the kiddos, also using the colors to paint on the cookies by using a very small amount of water with the wilton colors and a small paint brush!
