Using a baggie or a piping bag, paint GEL food colors in lines from corner of baggie or tip of piping bag. Paint as many colors as you want around the bag. Cut off the tip of your bag. You could use a decorator tip if desired. Fill the bag with the meringue. Pipe some out until your cookies show a swirl of color Then pipe all your cookies onto a parchment lined baking tray.
