Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a mixing bowl, stir together the fours, baking powder and salt.

* Step 2

Then in a separate mixing bowl, blend together the softened butter with the sugar until smooth (use a hand held or stand up mixer for this). Then add in the egg and vanilla and blend until combine.

* Step 3

Then gradually hand stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not over mix.

* Step 4

Divide the dough evenly into 2 separate bowls. (i did 3)

* Step 5

Dye one bowl of the dough red with the red food coloring and the other green with the green food coloring. Stir in the food coloring until the color is completely incorporated.

* Step 6

Wrap each dough with wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes-1 hour until the dough is firm.

* Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Then place the red dough on parchment paper or wax paper. Lightly dust with flour. Then with a rolling pin, roll out the dough until a rectangle approximately 1/4 in thick.

* Step 8

Follow the same process with the green dough.

* Step 9

Then place the green dough on top of the red dough leaving the parchment paper or wax paper on the outside of the dough.

* Step 10

Then remove the top wax or parchment paper. Gently roll the rolling pin over the top so that the doughs stick together.

* Step 11

Then roll the log gently starting on one side of the rectangle and gently remove the bottom wax or parchment paper as you roll. (If the dough is too soft, refrigerate it again so that it’s easier to work with).

* Step 12

Next pour the sprinkles on a baking sheet. After the log has been formed, gently roll the log in the sprinkles so that they stick to the outside of the log.

* Step 13

Then wrap the entire log with plastic wrap after it’s formed and refrigerate it for 30 minutes-1 hour.

* Step 14

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the log from the refrigerator, unwrap and cut the log into 1/4 inch thick slices to make the cookies and place them on an uncreased cookie sheet approximately 2 inches a part. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cookies are set.
