FOR THE FOOD COLORS:
Place a 1/4-cup of peach liqueur in one small bowl and the rest of the liqueuer in another small bowl.

Drop a few drop of red food color in one of the bowls with the liqueuer and yellow food color in the other.
Dip one side of the cookie in red food coloring and the other in yellow let them rest on a sheet of wax paper for a minute or two before adding the sugar.

I dip about 5 cookies in the colors and then go back to the first one and sprinkle with sugar. You can also dip them in the sugar.
Place the finished cookies on a sheet of wax paper to dry and continue to work with the rest of the cookies.

Once the cookies have dried, insert a couple of mint leaves in each prepared cookie and transfer to a cookie tray.
