I've made these for years and I love them every time I have made them.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups butter (2 sticks)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- red and green food coloring
- 1 cup holiday sprinkles
Directions
- 1In a large bowl, Cream sugar and butter until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- 2Add eggs and vanilla.
- 3Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl and add to butter mixture, mix well.
- 4Separate the dough in half and color one part red and one part green.
- 5Put one of the freshly made dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll 11 x 9 inches and ¼ inch thick.
- 6Repeat with the other color dough.
- 7Put the rolled dough including the parchment paper, on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes or longer.
- 8Take the top layer off both dough's and lightly wet the tops. Sandwich the two colors together, using a paring knife trim the edges to make straight edges.
- 9Remove the top layer of paper and start rolling up and use the bottom layer of paper to pull it tight. If the dough tears you can just pinch it together.
- 10Poor the sprinkles onto a large platter and roll the log onto the sprinkles and press them in. Place the dough into the fridge for 15 minutes or longer.
- 11Slice the dough into ¼ inch slices and bake on parchment lined sheets.
- 12Bake at 325° F for 10 -15 minutes. Let cool.

These make a lot of cookies even for a half recipe. It really depends on the size of the cookie but they are amazing!!
