Marbled Sugar Cookie Cutouts
Ingredients
- 1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix
- Flour, butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for cutout cookies
- Betty Crocker™ green and red gel food colors
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- In large bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Divide dough into 3 pieces. Place 2 pieces of dough into 2 small bowls. Tint 1 bowl green, 1 bowl red by stirring in food colors.
- On floured surface, drop scant tablespoons of each dough in random pattern to make large rectangle. Dough pieces should be just touching together.
- Push dough toward center on all sides to make 6x5-inch rectangle. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick to create marbled pattern. Cut with 3-inch cookie cutters. Lightly press back of cookie spatula in flour, and slide under cookie dough; place cutouts 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press any leftover scraps together, and reroll on floured surface to make more cookies.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
