A Roll-Out Cookie Recipe:
Multi-Colored Cookies
Ingredients
3 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine
1 ⅓ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 ounces chocolate, melted (optional)
Your choice of flavorings/extracts
Your choice of food colorings
Directions
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
In a separate large bowl cream together margarine and sugar.
Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth, light and fluffy.
Continue mixing and add in the dry ingredients in two parts.
Divide the dough based on the number of different flavors/colors, one part for each flavor/color.
Mix in a few drops of food coloring for color and about 1 teaspoon of extract to each portion. For chocolate dough knead the melted chocolate into its portion of dough.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up the dough.
Heat the oven to 350℉.
Arrange the colors into whatever design you desire. Either roll the dough into a log and slice ¼ inch thick cookies or roll the dough into a ¼ inch thick sheet in between 2 sheets of parchment paper and use cookie cutters to cut into the desired shape.
Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until almost firm and very slightly browned.
