Place one in ziplock type bag, add food color of choice, close bag and massage color into dough, (great had exercise). Then follow directions. Taste great, look great and it takes less than 30 mins, better yet no clean up. Ps. I always use parchment on cookie sheets for same reason. piserchiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888175888399048467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156024664346240631.post-18179550175117811382013-12-22T15:31:47.877-05:002013-12-22T15:31:47.877-05:00I am making them right now too.

At first I didn't think it was going to because it appeared to be a crumbled dry mess, but I kept working my mixer in just a corner of the bowl and it came together. I chilled in the fridge as directed, and was able to roll it shortly after taking it out leaving the wax paper on the bottom, using that to begin the roll without sticking or direct contact. Really helpful was running one of my hands a few times over the wax paper and dough along the length that needed to start rolling. That gentle friction made it pliable enough to roll and also mend cracks that formed. It was slow going. I cooked them for 13 minutes, cutting 1/4" because thinner than that browned too soon for me. Mine retained their shape, did not swell or spread out.la petite sourishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885955769203330471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156024664346240631.post-17368733270293853902013-12-17T17:54:26.212-05:002013-12-17T17:54:26.212-05:00I got 2 dozen out of my roll and they turned out a...I got 2 dozen out of my roll and they turned out awesome :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675897986465483327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156024664346240631.post-16295571061773130402013-12-17T14:42:56.596-05:002013-12-17T14:42:56.596-05:00I found your recipe through Pinterest.

I'll have to play around with rolling them as mine did not turn out quite so uniform and cracked quite a lot, but that cold very well have been from my impatience in wanting to back them and not allowing them to thaw a bit from an overnight stay in the fridge. Still, they are very yummy!

Unfortunately I couldn't find the cool sprinkles and had to use green sugar on the outside. They turned out very pretty and I received a number of compliments on how cool they looked through. <br /><br />For those of you who had issues with spreading of the dough, that's because the dough was too warm. When you go to roll, cut and bake the dough, it needs to be very well chilled. If your dough starts getting sticky when handling it, put it in the freezer for a just a few minutes or back in the fridge to cool for another 30 minutes. <br /><br />Also, when I mixed the dough, I cubed cold butter and added the little cubes of butter slowly to the mixture. For some reason my dough was a little too dry, so I added a tiny bit of water (like you would for pasta dough) until it came to the right consistency. Watch out for the food coloring which can change the texture of the dough, add less water to that if you find you need to or add a little more flour for a consistent texture.<br /><br />I made two batches and each roll made about 30 cookies when cut to be a little thinner. Again, make sure your dough is very chilled prior to cutting. I didn't win the contest, but my husband enjoyed taste testing them and they had a lovely buttery flavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156024664346240631.post-75169765926664543112013-11-15T18:11:13.201-05:002013-11-15T18:11:13.201-05:00Just featured this post in my Cookies Cookies Cook...Just featured this post in my Cookies Cookies Cookies! roundup.

I think if I didn't have knowledge about how dough is supposed to feel and when to put it back in the fridge instead of overworking it I would have had a lot more trouble. They turned out beautiful! I rolled mine in crushed candy canes. Not the best idea, they melted. I should have put them into the red batter that I made. Next time.

I didn't have a stand up mixer so I used a fork to chop the butter until it was the best I could do, then used a hand mixer until it was starting to ball up, then I went back to the fork to mix in the vanilla and color. I got 24 cookies, and cooked the first 12 until they were golden brown, which was too long because those cookies got hard. (still taste good) but the last 12 I only cooked 14 minutes, and they turned out soft and perfect, thanks for the great recipe!

I thought that there was a mistake since there are no eggs, but it came out great. I used a hand mixer and it still worked great. I only chilled the rolled out dough for a few minutes before putting the one color on top of the other. It was fairly easy to roll up and I made them a bit narrower so I got A LOT of cookies - about 4 dozen. I rolled them in colored sprinkles before setting them in the fridge to harden. Once chilled, they were easy to cut and bake. I made my red swirl with peppermint extract. Delicious.
