I made the cutest red green and white icebox cookies for christmas and colored the dough with regular liquid food coloring. I made the regular dough, separated it into thirds, than returned 1/3 to the mixer and added the coloring and also flavoring. The liquid (even at 20-30 drops) didn’t do anything to the consistency!

Hi Louise,
I too was quite amazed at the crisp edges of your cookies. As someone already posted my cookies always spread, and I do hope you’ll share the recipe or technique you used to achieve this impeccable look on your cookies.
Kudos!

I too would love to know how to get the cookies to retain their shape – mine end up fat and splodgy

Ciao Louise, how are you? A while ago I asked you if it was possible to make green colouring with spirulina, well, I have been doing it for a while now, and I also tried to colour rolling fondant. I made a frog on a lily pad (the lily coloured with berry juice) and would love your comment. it is here http://alessandrazecchini.blogspot.com/2010/10/senza-parole-without-words.html

thank you and ciao

Hi Louise, these cookies look fab! I was wondering if you could create a tutorial for decorating cookies with poured fondant? I’ve tried royal icing put I love the ‘shiny’ finish on the liquid fondant.

These look so cute, I hope we can see them decorated very soon. I use gel color for the dough whenever I make colored cookies, I make candy canes with red and normal dough and everyone loves them!(a little time consuming!) You just have to be careful with the oven.

The Cookies look great. I always break little legs off. To help Heather try and refrigerate the cookies before you bake them. It helps them keep their shape.

Hi, which cookie recipe did you use? I would like to try too. thanks

By: Gerry Marrs

Gerry Marrs — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 16:17:28 +0000

I really like the way the shapes came out. Nice and smooth. Do you use a special sugar cookie recipe? I have tried with a regular cookie recipe and they do not come out looking like yours. I use copper and plastic cut outs. Which do you find the best to use? Since you make your own templates do you use a kit to make metal cookie cutters. I really enjoy your website and have learned a lot about decorating. Thank you so much for sharing.

You can use the gel without a problem. The added wettness of the gel is handled with the flour used to roll the dough out, whereas the powders can make the dough dry and crumbly.

Do you have the recipe for your sugar cookies on your website? If so, where. Whenever I make sugar cookies they always come out puffy. Thank you,

Wow! Incredible. The details came out good. I like how the rat’s tail came out. What cookie recipe did you use for this(something which doesn’t make details swollen up) would you kind enough to post it.
Thanks

Good Morning Louise,

Even though I don’t care for the subject matter, you would never know that these were cut by hand. They are perfection!

I use gel coloring when I color my cookie dough. My favorite is to use orange and yellow and make a tye dy effect for fall leaves.

I color my dough for Christmas for green trees, etc… and I just add the regular food coloring while the dough is mixing so I don’t have to knead by hand later. Hope that helps.

I’ve used the Wilton gel color in my sugar cookie dough recipe and it worked wonderfully.
