Sugar Sprinkles for Cookies | Colour Sprinkles
Sugar sprinkles are colorful sugar topping used for decorating cookies, cakes and even cupcakes. They are made by mixing plain sugar with food colors and baking it until slightly crisp. I usually make this when I bake cookies at home and want something fun on top. It adds instant color and makes any baked goodie look more tempting.
Servings3 packets
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- few drops gel or liquid food colors I used green, red and yellow
Instructions
- Measure sugar and keep it ready.
- Now divide the sugar into 3 zip lock bags.
- Choose your food colors.
- Pour 3-4 drops of red, yellow and green food colors in each separate zip lock bags.
- Now shake each bag well. Shake it well so that the colors are evenly distributed, shake and keep mixing until the colors are evenly mixed.
- Preheat oven at 100 deg C for 10 minutes.
- In a baking tray lay 3 small aluminum foils, transfer the sugar mixture to the foil.
- Spread it with a fork so that it forms a thin layer.
- Bake at 100 deg C in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Allow it cool down for 15 minutes.
- Your homemade sugar sprinkles are ready. It will look slightly moist but after cooling down it becomes dry. Cool down completely then store.
- Store Colour Sprinkles in a clean airtight box. No need to refrigerate but if you want to have a longer shelf life then refrigerate it.
Notes
- Color mixing – I add few drops first and then mix. Try not to add too much color or sugar will become wet.
- Shaking method – I just shake the zip lock bags really well so the color spreads evenly. Keep shaking till no white sugar is seen.
- Baking step – I bake at low temperature only. This helps drying and gives slight glitter to the sugar.
- Cooling time – I always let it cool fully before storing. If stored warm it may turn sticky.
- No oven option – If no oven, I dry it in shade for a day. Do not dry in sun as color may fade.
