Wonderful and easy! I took the advice of InkyInkerton and used a plastic bag so I didn't get the food coloring all over my fingers. I used it on top of Grandma's Soft Sugar Cookies and it was perfect!

    Thank goodness for your creativity! Colored sugar is expensive and I need to use a lot of it for my wedding favours: white chocolate dipped fortune cookies sprinkled with various colors. You rock!
