Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • Yellow and orange food coloring

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add in two eggs and mix until well incorporated.
  3. In a small bowl mix together salt baking powder and flour.
  4. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Separate dough into 3 small bowls.
  6. Add yellow food coloring to one dough, orange coloring to another, and leave the third bowl without coloring.
  7. Mix food into dough until it’s the desired coloring.
  8. Shape each dough ball into a small rectangle. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

  10. Layer dough rectangles on top of each other. Yellow first, then orange, and lastly white.
  11. Roll up tightly as you would cinnamon rolls and chill for 45 minutes.
  12. Preheat the oven to 350°F while the dough chills, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes

Place any leftover spiral cookies in an airtight container. If you have a large batch, use parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together. 

  • Room Temperature. The cookies will stay fresh at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Refrigerator. The cookies will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator but they may begin to dry out.
  • Freezer. The finished cookie dough can also be frozen. Thaw overnight in the fridge before slicing and baking.
