Over in Europe they use powdered food coloring instead of liquid or gel. When I was in Paris in 2018, I took a macaron making class and they introduced it to me. I bought red and green at a local market for Christmas cookies and cakes. The tiniest dash of powder (which doesn’t change the consistency of the dough at all — key for macarons!) makes incredibly bright colors.

I made some red and green swirled cookies the first year and, not realizing, used something closer to a quarter teaspoon of the powder into the dough. Everyone who ate the cookies reported that they were pooping green and/or red for days afterwards. Whoops! I’ve never used as much since!

Ours didn’t fully look as vibrant.
But it was somehow the colors did show up a lot
They tasted delicious I would rate this
The thing it’s I wish it was a little thicker than that it got a little crushed but out of five stars I would rate it a 4

Looks amazing! Has anyone tried to make these cookies with oil instead of shortening? (Try to be a little bit healthy sometimes..)
Thanks!

I see in the ingredients list that you have listed sugar twice 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar, is this correct?

I love cookies and dessert, but when they are so colorful and fun, it just melts my heart, would want all of them for me.
