Rainbow Pinwheel Cookies




bag (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Sugar Cookie Mix, mixed per package directions
Liquid 
food coloring, as desired
Rainbow 
sprinkles, if desired

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • For rainbow pinwheels, divide dough evenly into five bowls, and color each with a different color liquid food coloring. (We used McCormick Neon shades in pink, green, blue and purple, as well as the yellow from the standard pack).
  • Roll each color dough into 14 grape-sized balls.
  • Combine a ball of each color and quickly roll into a larger ball. It will look like a little beachball.
  • Then roll that ball between your hands and the counter or cutting board until you have a cylinder about 6 inches long.
  • Starting from one end of the cylinder, roll the dough into a coil, twisting the cylinder as you go.
  • Roll edges of the cookie in sprinkles.
  • Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes, or until done (fully done middle with the barest touch of golden brown on the edges).
