- Add a small amount of purple gel food coloring and adjust to your desired shade.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.

Notes
• Don’t skip chilling—it's essential for perfect crinkles.
• Add food coloring slowly to avoid thinning the dough.
• A thick powdered sugar coating gives the boldest crackle effect.
