CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pouch sugar cookie mix
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3 food colors
  • Granulated sugar, if desired
  • 1/2 tub Whipped vanilla ready-to-spread frosting
DIRECTIONS
  1. Heat oven to 375°. Stir cookie mix, margarine, flour and egg in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Divide dough evenly among 3 bowls; tint each dough by stirring in a few drops of desired food color.
  2. Shape 1/3 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 1/4 inch apart on floured surface; roll until 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Cut with 2- to 2 1/2-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter so each cookie has 3 colors. Sprinkle with sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. (When rerolling dough scraps, carefully lay matching colors together.)
  4. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread frosting on bottoms of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
  5. Makes 18 sandwich cookies
