Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup butter softened
  •  eggs 
  • 0.3 cup flour all-purpose
  •  purple gel food coloring 
  • 18 servings granulated sugar 
  • pouch sugar cookie mix (1 lb 1.5 oz)
  • 0.5 tub vanilla frosting 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • wire rack
  • cookie cutter

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375F. Stir cookie mix, butter, flour and egg in medium bowl until 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.
  3. Place ropes side by side and a little more than 1/4 inch apart on floured surface; roll until 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Cut with 2- to 2 1/2-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter so each cookie has 3 colors.
  5. Sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. (When rerolling dough scraps, carefully lay matching colors together.)
  7. 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.
  8. Spread frosting on bottoms of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
