Do I need to use yellow food coloring?
No. The food coloring only adds vibrant color to the dough. It doesn’t affect how they taste.
Do I need to refrigerate the dough before baking?
Yes! Without refrigeration, the cookies will be flat and not crinkled on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
