• On a large cutting board covered in plastic wrap, use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough to make two 12x9-inch (30x22-cm) rectangles. Tip: Place wax paper over the dough while rolling to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
• Take the colored dough rectangle and place it over the other regular dough rectangle.
• Use the plastic wrap under the regular dough rectangle to help you roll the two rectangles up.
• Fill a flat dish or baking pan with sprinkles. Roll the dough around it until the outside is completely coated.

MIX-AND-MATCH SWIRL COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until the dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed.
• Split the base dough in half, add your desired mix-ins, and incorporate them fully.
• We used chocolate hazelnut spread and cocoa powder for one half and peanut butter for the other.
• Roll out each dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Chill both doughs for 30 minutes.
• Place one half of flavored dough on top of the other and start to roll up the doughs into a swirl. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until solid, about 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once chilled, unwrap the dough, slice into ½-inch (1 cm) thick coins, and place them on the baking sheet at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
• Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Try additional combinations.
• Enjoy!

RASPBERRY RIBBON COOKIES

Steps:

• Prepare the Ultimate Cookie Dough and divide it into four equal parts. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 4 days.
• Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or use a clean, ungreased baking sheet.
• Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and knead lightly until it is pliable. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Shape each part into a rope about 12 inches long by rolling between your hands and the work surface. Place ropes on the baking sheet. Either the side of your finger or with the handle of a wooden spoon, make an indentation down the center of each strip.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Meanwhile, put the jam into a small heavy duty zip-top plastic bag, (the type without a pleat). Snip a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and press jam down the center of the partially baked cookies. Return to the oven and bake 5 minutes longer or until the cookies are lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and enough water to make a frosting thin enough to drizzle over the cookies.
• While the cookies are still warm, cut them diagonally into 1-inch lengths. Drizzle with the frosting. Cool completely before removing from the pan or from the parchment paper.

RIBBON COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar gradually. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
• In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add to the butter mixture, making sure all ingredients are incorporated.
• Divide dough into three equal parts. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one third, mixing until the color is even. Add cocoa and pecans to one third, mixing well. Leave the other third plain.
• Line a loaf pan with wax paper or foil. Press the chocolate layer into the bottom of the pan, pressing firmly to make the dough as flat and even as possible on top. Add the plain dough to the pan, again making an even layer on top of the chocolate. On top of the plain dough, add the red, pressing down flat on top. Wrap the dough completely, leave it in the loaf pan, and chill over night, or until firm enough to slice.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove dough from loaf pan and place on cutting board. Cut the dough lenghth-wise, down the middle, so you have two long "bars" of dough. Put one bar back in the refrigerator, to keep chilled while you work with the other.
• Slice into about 1/8" slices, or thicker if you like them a little softer. The thinner they are sliced, the crispier they will be.
• Bake for about 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Take them out when the bottoms are just browned. Try not to overbake, or they will lose their pretty color.
• Cool on wire rack.
