- Divide the remaining cup of sugar into two bowls.
- One bowl should contain 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup in the other.
- Color the small bowl with the red coloring by working it in with your fingers.
- Color the other bowl with the yellow coloring and add a pinch of the red sugar to it to make a peachy color.
- Brush each cookie with water and roll them first in the yellow sugar, then dip a part of them into the red sugar to give them a blush. Insert angelica stems into the top for a realistic effect.
