- Ingredients:
- One 17.5 oz bag Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix, mixed according to package directions
- Liquid food coloring, as desired
- Rainbow sprinkles, if desired.
- Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- For rainbow pinwheels, divide dough evenly into five bowls, and color each with a different color liquid food coloring. (We used McCormick Neon shades in pink, green, blue and purple, as well as the yellow from the 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.
- 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 the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes, or until done (fully done middle with the barest touch of golden brown on the edges).
**For my cookies, I used Gel food coloring - and just tested the vibrancy of the color after stirring. This was my first attempt at making these, and it did take me a few hours as my kitchen was rather warm and the dough was softening up quite often. I resorted to putting them in the freezer for 30 min at a time, in batches - it was fairly hot in my apartment! They turned out really well. :)
