Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup softened butter (room temp is best)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 Tbs milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Red & Yellow Drop Food Coloring or Yellow and Orange Gel
- 1 can of white frosting (or make your own form your own recipe)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375.
- Place parchment paper in a 9×13 pan – so that the edges come over the 13″ side. Make sure you spray the 9″ sides with non-stick spray.
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the eggs, milk and vanilla and mix well. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and blend.
- Separate the dough in half.
- Tint one part yellow and the other orange. Make sure the color is well blended through the dough.
- Take the yellow dough and place into the bottom of the pan. You may need to use a small roller to get it flat, or just use your fingers to push it into the corners and make it level.
- Next, roll out the orange on a flat surface (on flour).
- You can then pick it up and place it on top of the yellow. Push it out flat as well so that you cover all of the yellow dough.
- Bake for 18 – 21 minutes (or until edges are browned).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before pulling it out of the pan.
- Once cooled, grab the parchment paper and pull it out of your pan.
- Frost the cookies.
- Cut in half lengthwise and then cut that again.
- Cut into triangles.
- Sprinkle (as desired) and enjoy!!!
