2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons brandy, or milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar; add dry ingredients, and mix until incorporated. With mixer running, add egg, brandy (or milk), and vanilla; mix until incorporated.
Once your dough is ready, split it into 4 parts (or more, depending on how many different colors you would like to use) and add food coloring to each portion of dough. In our case...we used red, green, yellow and blue. Once this is mixed, take a pinch of each colored dough and roll together creating a "tie-dyed" look.
Roll each cookie in sugar before placing in a lightly greased baking sheet
Bake @ 350 until lightly golden. About 10 minutes
Transfer to cooling rack
Add a perfect little sister to the mix and you have the the most wonderful cookie!!
We made caramel apples too!
Harley likes to help but this is where she likes to lay...in the middle of everything.
We saved this one for her!! She eyed it the whole time we were cooking!
