Rainbow Pinwheel Cookies

What You Need
  • 1 17.5-oz. bag Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix (or your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe)
  • Liquid food coloring, as desired (McCormick Neon shades work well)
  • Rainbow sprinkles, if desired

To Make Them
Preheat oven to 350°F.   Mix the cake according to package directions.  Divide dough evenly into five bowls, and color each with a different color liquid food coloring. Roll each color of dough into grape-sized balls. Combine a ball of each color and quickly roll into a larger ball. It will look like a little beach ball. Then roll that ball between your hands and the counter until you have a cylinder about 12 inches long. Starting from one end, roll the dough into a coil, twisting the cylinder as you go. Roll edges of the cookie in sprinkles. Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes, or until done.

Yields: approximately 3 dozen cookies
