Notes
You can use either gel or liquid food coloring in this recipe. I find that the gel food coloring gives the cookies a richer color and does not fade as much during the cooking process.
You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. They are great reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
If your cookies are spreading too much, simply allow the cookie dough to rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes before forming the balls of dough.
