Dr. Suess Rainbow Cookies :)

I found this crazy cute cookies on Souders Cookery blog at www.souderstudios.com :) So I do not take credit for it at all. However, I thought I would share it with those who follow me :)

What you need:
  • 17.5-oz. bag Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix, mixed according to package directions (or your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe)
  • Liquid food coloring, as desired (McCormick Neon shades work well)
  • Rainbow sprinkles, if desired
1. Mix cookie dough together.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F. 

3. Divide dough evenly into five bowls.

4. Color each with a different color liquid food coloring. I found that these amounts worked well for me.
  • Purple: 2 blue, 2, purple, 1 pink
  • Green: 7-8 green
  • Blue: 4 blue
  • Pinkish-Red: 3-4 pink


5. Roll each color of dough into grape-sized balls. 

6. Combine a ball of each color and quickly roll into a larger ball. It will look like a little beach ball.

7. Roll that ball between your hands and the counter until you have a cylinder about 12 inches long.

8. Starting from one end, roll the dough into a coil, twisting the cylinder as you go.

Optional: Roll edges of the cookie in sprinkles. I didn't add them.
9. Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes, or until done.

Depending on how big grapes are to you, amount may vary mine made 20 but Souders Cookery said that theirs made 30. So it depends. :)
