If I understand your question properly, you just want to dust the biscuits with icing sugar that is a green colour!?
No problem! Just mix in some green coloured "dusting powder" - this is a specialist cake decorating product that is totally edible (and without e-numbers) and will do just the job!.

They are a great company and can order via the net or phone!. You can even phone them for more advice before purchasing!.

You can buy powdered food dye instead of using liquid food dye (which would surely turn the icing sugar into a paste)!. I always find powdered food dye at Specialty Indian grocery stores!. You can also order from online : http://www!.sugarcraft!.com/catalog/colori!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
What about using those sugar crystals they use on sugar cookies!? Maybe grind them a bit finer and it might turn into a powder consistencyWww@FoodAQ@Com
