  • Evenly divide the batter into three different bowls. Add blue gel to one bowl, red to another, and leave the third one plain white- then mix in until evenly combined.

  • Spread the powdered sugar out in an even layer on a shallow plate.
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Using a medium (1 1/2 tbsp) cookie scoop, scoop a ball of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll it in the powdered sugar then transfer it to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough's been used. Then move onto the next color, and continue until all the cookies have been prepared.
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are puffy.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool, they will finish firming up as they do.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • To avoid mixing the colors, wash and dry the cookie scoop in between switching bowls. Don't skip this!
  • The cookies will spread some as they puff up during cooking so be sure not to overcrowd the pan. I only did 12 cookies per baking sheet.
  • The parchment paper makes for easy clean up and ensures the cookies will not stick to the pan. If you don't have parchment you could line the trays with foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray.
