RAINBOW SPRINKLE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide dough evenly into five bowls, and color each with a different color liquid food coloring. (We used Betty Crocker neon shades in pink, green, blue and purple, as well as the yellow from a standard pack). Roll each color dough into 14 grape-sized balls.
• Combine a ball of each color and quickly roll into a larger ball. It will look like a little beachball made of cookie dough.
• Then roll that ball between your hands and the counter or cutting board until you have a cylinder about 6 inches long.
• Starting from one end of the cylinder, roll the dough into a coil, twisting the cylinder as you go. Roll edges of the cookie in sprinkles.Repeat with remaining cookies.
• Bake cookies 10-11 minutes, or until done (fully done middle with the barest touch of golden brown on the edges).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl beat shortening and margarine together with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
• Add about half of the flour, the sugar, egg, flavorings, and baking soda. Beat till thoroughly combined.
• Beat in remaining flour. Stir in multi-colored sprinkles.
• Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 7 to 8 minutes. (DO NOT OVERCOOK)
• Cool cookies on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove cookies and cool on a wire rack. Makes about 24.
