recipe for rainbow cookies




If you like something colourful then you will like these amazing cookies. We made them a few weeks ago to thank the teachers for their help in Seussical. (Our teacher found the recipe on the internet...it's in American though, so she helped us to translate it)
 The colours are yellow ,pink,green and blue but it doesnt matter what colour you use.

This is the recipe for the rainbow cookies.



3/4 cup butter
3/8 cup cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 and 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
assorted food colouring

1. In a bowl put cream butter , cream cheese and sugar until it is fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

2.In a bowl combine flour, baking powder,and salt.Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.Stir until soft dough forms.Divide dough into quarters.Tint each with a different food colouring.Wrap in plastic and chill for two hours.

3.Preheat oven to 180. Shape colours into 2cm balls. for each cookie place one pink, one orange, one green, and one blue ball together and roll to make a cookie. Place cookies 5cm apart on greased cookie sheet to allow for spreeding.

                
4.Bake for 8 minuts or until lightly browned.Cool and store in an airtight container... or eat them straight away! ENJOY!

They are undoubtedly awesome.
