Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet or grease with cooking spray.

  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butte.

  4. Slowly add in remaining ingredients (except the food coloring) and combine.

  5. Dump your cookie dough out onto a clean, floured surface. Break the dough in half. Gently knead one half of the dough into a ball, wrap in parchment paper or foil, and place in the refrigerator.

  6. Place 3-4 drops of pink or red food coloring onto the remaining dough. Gently knead the dough until the ball of dough is pink. Wrap in parchment paper or foil and place in the refrigerator.

  7. Remove the "white" dough from the fridge and roll out into a large oval with a floured rolling pin. Set aside. Repeat with the pink dough.

  8. Gently place the rolled out pink dough on top of the rolled out white dough. Roll together into a cylinder shape and cut into circles.

  9. Place the circle/pinwheels of dough on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
