I was wondering if you can put the coloring while the royal icing is being mixed, l was thinking maybe on the last 5 minutes of mixing, after all the sugar has been incorporated...it would make icing a 100 cookies a lot easier, since they are all the same color.

Just make sure you don't over mix your icing.

absolutely!
