1 recipe sugar cookie dough, this one is my favorite
food coloring
sugar, for sprinkling
Method
Divide dough evenly among 3 bowls and tint dough by stirring in a few drops of food color.
Shape ⅓ cup of each color of dough into a rope about 5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Place ropes side by side and a little more than ¼ inch apart on floured surface; roll until ¼ inch thick.
Cut with cookie cutters so each cookie has 3 colors, and sprinkle with sugar.
Place cookies 2 inches apart on a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake according to your cookie dough directions, usually at 350 for 8 to 9 minutes.
