Rainbow Cookies!

Rainbow cookies, play dough cookies, tie dyed cookies, call them what you'd like...they are FUN to make! Start with your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe. Here is ours. Divide dough into sections and color with food coloring. I like the Wilton's concentrated paste. You can get it at Walmart and Joann's in the craft and cake decorating section for about $1.50 a container. You'll get the most vibrant colors this way. Then divide  (cut) each one of those balls into tiny sections. About 3/4" in squares.

The kids loved watching the color "magically" spread throughout the dough as the kitchenaid mixed it.



Then take 3 or 4 pieces of dough and press them together in a square shape and roll out into a 6-8" rope. Roll up and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

 
 
 
I let the kids loose to create their own cookies and they had a blast! It was fun to see all of the different color combinations. We baked them @ 400 degrees for 8 minutes. If you are using your own recipe, just follow it's instructions.


Yummy!
