I have slowly been getting my feet wet with the cookie decorating thing. But I have stumbled on to some questions and I am sure with all the expertise out there I can get some answers...thanks in advance!
How do you get the deep red and black black in the frosting? Is there a certain brand or technique? I usually get a dark pink and gray when I try to make them. I noticed on the heart tuxedo cookies people are able to get them black. HELP.
Also, I know that when you want to transfer a design to a cake you can use piping gel, but how do you transfer a design to a cookie?
I look forward to the answers to my burning questions!

Some people swear by Americolor. I use Wilton's paste, and I usually only need a small batch at Any given time so I just add a lot of the paste to get the color I need. I find it easier to color small batches then add a bit more icing and adjust the colour as needed rather than trying to color a large batch in one go.
You transfer the pattern using piping gel in the same manner as you would for a cake. You will need to scale the design to fit your cookie.
Thanks to everyone! I knew that I was coming to the right place.
