How can I decorate spritz cookies?
Sanding sugars are one of my favorite things to use to decorate spritz cookies. They’re simple, colorful, and look really beautiful. You could also use sprinkles, icing, or a dusting of powdered sugar/cinnamon/cocoa.
Can I use food coloring to color the cookie dough?
Yes, but be sure to use gel food coloring. Liquid food coloring will mess with the consistency of the dough and make it too thin. You’ll only need a drop or two to color the dough, so use sparingly.
