Tri Colored Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Red and green food coloring
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
5. Divide the dough into three equal portions. Leave one portion plain and tint one portion red and the other green using the food coloring. Knead the dough gently until the color is evenly distributed.
6. Take a small piece from each colored dough and roll into three separate ropes of equal length.
7. Gently press the three ropes together and twist them to create a colorful pattern. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
8. Place the twisted dough ropes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently flatten them with your hands.
9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
10. Once chilled, slice the dough into individual cookies about 1/4 inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
11. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
12. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
