Instructions
1
Allow the cookie dough rolls to come to room temperature. Place 1 roll of ready-made cookie dough in a large mixing bowl.
2
Add ½ teaspoon of food dye to the cookie dough. Blend by hand or with a hand mixer until the color is evenly mixed in. If a darker color is desired add several drops in and mix. Continue to do this until the cookie dough reaches the desired color.
3
Place a roll of cookie dough on a piece of parchment paper, sprinkle lightly with flour to make the parchment easier to remove, cover with another piece of parchment and roll until about ½ an inch thick.
4
Repeat this process with the colored cookie dough.
5
Peel back the top parchment on both rolled cookie doughs. Place the uncolored dough on top of the pink dough. Starting on one end, use the parchment paper to guide the dough as you begin to roll it.
6
Place the roll of dough into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle in the next step.
7
On a large baking sheet, one with an edge, evenly spread the sprinkles out.
8
Place the cookie dough on the baking sheet and roll/press sprinkles all over the cookie dough.
9
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
10
Cut the roll of cookie dough into slices ¼ inches thick.
11
Place sliced cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
12
Bake 11-14 minutes or until the edges/cookies are light golden brown.
13
Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough Before Swirling 🧊Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before adding food dye and swirling to prevent the colors from bleeding together and maintain crisp, defined spiral patterns.
- Use Gel Food Dye for Vibrant Colors 🎨Substitute liquid food dye with gel-based dyes, which won't thin out your dough and produce more intense, psychedelic colors that won't fade during baking.
- Toothpick Swirl Technique ✨After placing dyed dough on baking sheets, use a toothpick to drag through the colors in a consistent figure-eight or spiral motion for professional-looking, well-defined swirls.
- Add Sprinkles at the Right Time ⏰Apply sprinkles immediately after swirling and before baking so they adhere properly during cooking, rather than attempting to add them after the cookies cool.
- Prevent Overspreading with Parchment 📄Bake on parchment paper instead of greased sheets to control dough spread and keep your carefully crafted swirl patterns intact throughout the baking process.
