How do you splatter food coloring?
Splatter the ‘paint’ by dipping the paintbrush in the food coloring, hold it (brush side down) over what is being splattered, and use your other hand to tap your wrist. Alternately, this is very messy but works a little better, hold the brush (brush side down) over the cookie and flick the food coloring off of the brush and onto the cookie with the tip of a finger on the opposite hand.
What food coloring is best for paint splatter cookies?
I find that gel food coloring works best for the paint splatters. We dilute it a little with water or vodka to create the perfect consistency but still keep the vibrant colors.
