A Fun Pinwheel Cookie

We made these cookies for fun in our kitchen last week.  They were a "pinterest" idea but didn't have step by step pictures.  So we added the pictures.   I must say, our final product does not appear as colorful or fancy as the original, but my children had no complaints.  We had fun and they tasted great!  (Original source and picture is at the bottom of post for a fun comparison.)

Use any sugar cookie recipe.

Make it according to the recipe.

Divide the dough into four bowls and add four different colors of food coloring.

Mix well!


Now take a small ball of dough from each color, about a grape size amount, and roll them together in your hands to form a small "beach ball".  Next, roll out your beach ball into a snake, twisting it a bit to make the colors swirl more.  Now roll your snake up so it looks like a mini cinnamon roll.  Roll the edges in sugar and bake according to your sugar cookie recipe.  I recommend using parchment paper so the sugar on the edges does not burn.
 
Cool and enjoy!  Yummy!
 
 
 
Here is the Awesome picture of what the pin said the cookies should look like.  Mine obviously did not raise like the ones below and I used sugar instead of rainbow sprinkles on the edges.  Big difference.  Perhaps I will try again, with a different sugar cookie recipe.  We still enjoyed these and they were so fun to make!  Thank-you Souder's Cookery!
