Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make these beautiful delicate delicious spritz cookies. Our next step that we are going to do is dividing up the dough and coloring it. The spritz cookie dough is really easy to make into different colors which also cuts down on your time if you want to do something decorative but not have something really intricate. So we are going to scrape up a bunch of this dough and we are only going to leave about a third of it behind in the bowl. So you can just put it into another bowl. And the third that we leave behind in the mixing bowl is what we are going to color to start with. And you can divide it into as many parts as you want or you can color the entire batch. One color I am just going to show you with a portion of it so that we can do something different with other parts of the dough if you want to. That looks good as too what's left. Then we are going to put some green food coloring in our bowl and we will start out with a few drops and see how that works. So let's put just a few drops to start with. Be very careful when you are using the food dye, once it touches something that is non-edible it sticks. So we are going to mix this for a moment and then we will see our color. Now you can see we have nice lovely pale green dough. The amount of food dye that you are going to need depends on how much dough you are coloring and how brilliant of a color you want. So adjust, play around with the colors and don't be afraid to experiment.
