Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 batch Vintage Betty Crocker Rolled Sugar Cookies (see recipe)
  • orange and yellow gel food coloring

Instruction

  • Divide sugar cookie dough into three equal portions, and place two of those portions into small bowls to stir in the food coloring (leave the third portion alone to be the 'white' layer). Add about 4-6 drops to start in the orange and yellow bowls and stir in the coloring until well combined. Adjust the color adding more drops, if needed. Cover each portion in plastic wrap and chill the dough.
  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees F and remove the chilled dough from your refrigerator. Roll each of the color layers out, starting with orange and adding the yellow layer then the white (uncolored ) layer, stacking them onto each other once each layer is rolled out.
  • Roll the stacked layers up into a log shaped cylinder, then slice the pinwheels off in 1/2 inch portions. Arrange them on the parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes or until lightly golden on the bottom edges. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire cooling rack to cool completely.
