These Rainbow Swirl Sugar Cookies are so much fun! And, really very simple to make. They were inspired by my ever so popular Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies.
Rainbow Swirl Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- Sugar cookie dough you can make your own, but it's not necessary
- Vanilla icing jarred is fine, but instructions for mine are below
- Food coloring
Instructions
- Divide icing into however many colors you want to use and color each with food coloring (make sure they're nice and bright!
- Roll out sugar cookie dough into a large rectangle.
- Score lightly so you have as many columns as you have icing colors
- Fill each column with a different color icing. (Use a thin layer, otherwise this will happen when you bake. They will still taste good, but they won't look so hot!)
- Roll up and throw in the freezer for 30 minutes (don't skip this step!)
- Bake according to your sugar cookie recipe.
- Enjoy!!!
