. I split the 2-pack with a friend found here
(the food coloring, not the friend!). That leads to this:It's New Year's Day and we (finally) got around to making our Christmas press-out cookies. I used this recipe from allrecipes that had good reviews (I swapped out the white sugar for rapadura). The best review, however, came from dh who really liked them.

I knew the dc would enjoy decorating them but we didn't have any colored sugar, or sprinkles, or anything. I had tossed the old ones (and wouldn't have used them anyway) and couldn't invest that much into it when I ordered the natural food colorings to also get the decorating sugar. [They are available here
- check each one's ingredients before you order to be sure] I remembered how you can color your sand with tempera paint and thought, "Why not?"I put a scoop of white sugar in a container and added only about 6-8 drops of the red. Bingo! It worked great. I put another scoop of sugar in another container and only added about 4 drops of blue. It took more yellow to make green because it's a lighter color, so I just added one drop of yellow at a time and mixed it in until it was green. I don't normally use white sugar but did for this because the rapadura for dd's birthday cake frosting subdued the color a bit. I thought the colors would show better with white sugar. It worked!
I was so excited that I called my friend K. who went in with me on the natural food coloring order at Amazon. She was so sweet and enthusiastically humored me, lol.
