How to Make Kool Aid Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup of shortening and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1/2 cup of milk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half.
- On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of wax paper, roll out one half of the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Sprinkle evenly with 1 packet (0.16 oz) of Kool-Aid powder. Top with the second half of the dough, and gently roll to combine.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or freeze for later use. (Freezing allows for easier slicing.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Optional: Add sprinkles or other decorations before baking.
