How to Add Colored Sugar to Sugar Cookies

Adding colored sugar to sugar cookies is a fun and easy way to decorate them for any occasion. Here's how you can add colored sugar to your sugar cookies:

1. Bake the sugar cookies according to your recipe's instructions and let them cool completely.

2. Prepare your colored sugar by mixing granulated sugar and food coloring in a bowl. Use a toothpick or a small spoon to add the food coloring to the sugar gradually, mixing until you achieve your desired color.

3. Sprinkle the colored sugar onto the sugar cookies. You can sprinkle the sugar over the entire surface of the cookie, or just sprinkle it in specific areas to create patterns or designs.

4. Gently press the colored sugar into the surface of the cookie using your fingers or a flat tool like a spoon. This will help the sugar adhere to the cookie and prevent it from falling off.

5. If you want to create more intricate designs with colored sugar, you can use stencils or cookie cutters to guide your sprinkling.

6. Once you have finished decorating your sugar cookies with colored sugar, let them sit for a few hours or overnight to allow the sugar to set and fully adhere to the cookie.

That's it! You now have colorful and festive sugar cookies that are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
