Description

These vibrant and delicious cookies feature colorful spirals and a delightful flavor profile, perfect for any special occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Purple gel food coloring
  • Black gel food coloring
  • Purple sprinkles
  • ½ cup black or chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in the eggs and milk, blending until everything is smooth.
  3. Gradually add in the flour, salt, vanilla, and almond extract, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough in half. Color one half purple using the gel food coloring.
  5. Split the remaining dough into two portions: one for black and one for white.
  6. Roll the black dough into a rectangle measuring 6×12 inches.
  7. Repeat the process for the white dough, placing it on top of the black layer and rolling lightly to adhere.
  8. Finally, roll out the purple dough into the same size rectangle. Top it with purple sprinkles, then carefully roll it into a log.

Notes

Chill the dough if it’s too soft to handle. Use different colors of gel food coloring to match any theme.
