Swirled Buttery Mint Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butters and 3/4 cup sugar. Beat in egg and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
  • Divide dough into thirds. Stir red food coloring into one portion of dough; stir green food coloring into another portion. Leave remaining dough plain. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Divide each portion of dough into four equal pieces. With lightly floured hands, roll each piece into a 12-in. rope. Place a red, a green and a plain rope next to each other. Cut through all three ropes at 1-in. intervals, forming sets of three differently colored doughs. Repeat.
  • Roll each set of doughs into a ball; place balls 3 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to 1/8-in. thickness with a glass dipped in remaining sugar. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
  • Yield: 4 dozen.
