Ingredients

Servings

• 1 box Rainbow cookie mix
• ¹⁄₂ cup Butter
• 1 large Egg
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Red food coloring
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Green food coloring
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the rainbow cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide the dough into two equal parts. In one part, add the red food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. In the other part, add the green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
4. Take a small amount of red dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the green dough. Place the red and green dough balls side by side and gently press them together. Repeat with the remaining dough.
5. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
6. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
