• 200 gram Butter

8. Slice the rainbow dough into 1/4-inch thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy the colorful and delicious rainbow cookies!
