In reply to Amanda. Hi Amanda, I'd use the gel. The liquid will mess with the consistency of your dough.

Hi Barb,

I haven’t tried that kind of gel to color my cookie dough. I would try it because I believe it would work. If you try it will you let us know how it turns out?

Thanks and sorry it took me so long to respond to your question.

Adding the color to the dough, what if you don’t have the ‘liquid’ gel, but rather the gel that comes in the little tubs and needs a toothpick?

Would you just put the gel color on the toothpick and then dip the toothpick into the dough?

I’m interested in adding color to chocolate chip cookie dough. Can I use liquid coloring for that, or does it need to be gel?

I blend green or red food colouring and flavour extracts into the softened butter and then blend the coloured, flavoured butter into the dry mixture. The shortbreads turn out pale pink or green and it makes no difference to the texture after baked.

Hi Ella,

If I was making Texas orange I’d start with an orange food gel color and add a little ivory color and see how that works. If you’re feeling brave you might add a touch of brown food gel if it needs to be a little darker.

I know you’ll master it! 😉

I’m looking to surprise my granddaughter with colored cookies. She is attending the University of Texas at Austin. The school color is burnt orange. Any ideas how to achieve this color?
Thank you very much
Ella
