How to Make Homemade Colored Sugar

How to Make Homemade Colored Sugar thumbnail
Colored sugar can make holiday cookies festive.

Colored sugar is like edible glitter. Plain white sugar can be transformed into any color with the help of powdered food coloring. Holiday cookies will benefit from this treatment, and an assortment of these sparkly treats would make a great holiday gift. Make some cutout star-shaped cookies with a dusting of powder blue-colored sugar or spruce up a Christmas tree-shaped treat with some bright-green sugar. Powdered food coloring is readily available at cake-supply and craft stores. Does this Spark an idea?
