Any recipes for BLUE cookies?

Jeff Smith on The Frugal Gourmet once took up the subject of why people have an instinctive aversion to blue food. Your cookies may not get eaten.

But if you try coloring something that is fairly dark to begin with, or too yellow in tone, it’ll come out more green than blue.

Your best bet might be frosting. You can add a little blue food coloring to white frosting and get real blue. You could frost some sugar cookies. That might work.

Don’t do a choc chip recipe- just do an oat cookie recipe. Perhaps make the dough and take half and add blueberries (some frozen and then coat with flour and some thawed for blue streaks) and also some choc chips. Then take the blue dough and FOLD into the other- make miz 5 times and the dough will look streaky! Then use a disher (ice cream scoop) and place on cookie sheet, they should outdo the other girls cookies by a _long shot!

Good luck!

Sugar cookies are a nice, neutral color – try some food coloring in those.

Blue cookies?Like it, you may make your fortune.That will show little miss show off who kicks butt.Get it fortune…cookies..ahh forget it.

Just make sugar cookies and add food coloring.

Make these, and add blue food coloring to your dough.

You can also brush these with Karo Syrup and sprinkle colored sugar to decorate, or alternatively just sprinkle on the colored sugar before you bake and press the sugar into the dough gently to make them stick.

just gather sugar, dough, and food coloring.

Good idea, @lilikoi—blue sugar sprinkles.

Any cookies that are made with whole eggs are going to pick up yellow coloring from the yolks, and they will probably also bake to some golden shade that will turn blue to green. I would try mixing the coloring into a small amount of your cookie dough and not the whole batch, and see what happens when they bake.

Instead of the liquid food coloring typically sold in grocery stores, you need to find paste food coloring. The liquid is too dilute. You can get real depth of color with paste.

This is much more concentrated and can give you a much deeper hue. This is what the pros use.

The only bakery supply company I remember off the top of my head is Wilton.

But there may be a professional supply place in your location willing to sell to the public as well. They will be the ones stocking the paste color.
