Servings:  24 Cookies 

Prep: 10 minutes

Chilling Time: 75 minutes

Baking Time: 8-10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup butter softened

1 ½ cup powdered sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

2 cups flour

Yellow and orange food coloring

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in two eggs and mix until well incorporated. 

In a small bowl mix together salt baking powder and flour.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until well incorporated.

Separate dough into 3 small bowls.

Add yellow food coloring to one dough, orange coloring to another, and leave the third bowl without coloring. Mix food coloring into dough until it’s the desired color.

Shape each color of dough into a small rectangle wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Repeat with each color of dough.

Once chilled, roll dough out into a large rectangle roughly ¼ inch thick.

Layer dough rectangles on top of each other yellow first, then orange, and lastly white.

Roll up tightly as you would cinnamon rolls and chill for 45 minutes. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while the dough cools, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once cooled, cut the dough in ¼ inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should be lightly golden brown on the bottoms.
