How to Make Ribbon Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Tint one portion red, one green, and one a pale yellow using food coloring.
- Layer the colored dough portions on top of each other in a rectangle in a lightly floured 9x13 inch baking dish or similar sized container.
- Carefully roll the layered dough into a log (approx. 2 inches in diameter).
- Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.
- Once firm, slice the log into 1/4-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
