cookie decorating: would this work? painting the cookie frosting with food coloring?!
I have a cookie cutter shaped in my school's logo... i want to decorate the cookies with the proper logo colors, but it literally takes almost ten minutes each cookie to decorate using the 3 different color frostings, and it also takes a very steady hand. painting would be sooo much easier... but would it work?

I wouldn't recomend it as the food coloring will run and bleed.
Look for cake/cookie decorating markers.
Or if you must mix a little of the gel pain with vodka or other alcohol as the alcohol will dry quickly where the water will just make and keep the frosting soggy.
I don't think it would---the food coloring would just sit ontop of the frosting, like a liquid on a wooden table. A better idea would be to reserve some of the white frosting and dye it, you can even thin it down a bit with some milk, or in the microwave, and then use it like a paint on your frosted cookies.
