MIXING FOOD COLORING RECIPES

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
• Put dough into cookie press with desired plate; form cookies onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until set, not brown (this part is important! DO NOT OVER COOK!). Cool on wire racks.
• Beat together butter, vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar in mixing bowl. Add milk. Continue adding sugar in 1/2 cup increments until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring to all or a portion of frosting and frost cookies. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place sugar into mixing bowl.
• Combine milk, corn syrup and vanilla, and blend.
• Add liquid mixture to powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
• Add softened butter and blend until thoroughly incorporated.
• Divide frosting into several cups, and add food coloring to each. If using liquid coloring, add a little more powdered sugar until it reaches good spreading consistency.
• Spread onto cookie with knife, or place in zip-loc sandwith bags with the corner nipped off 1/16" to pipe onto cookies.
• Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugars.
• Once cookies are decorated, place on flat surface to allow frosting to dry. Store cookies in covered container.
• NOTE: Differences in humidity may require more or less liquids to make a good consistency frosting. Sugar can be added or milk lessened to achieve the best consistency.
