INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Tear two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap into 1 foot long pieces. Mix
1/3 cup sugar and food coloring together and sprinkle half onto each strip
of paper. Set aside.
Bring butter to room temperature. Mix by hand the butter, flour, vanilla
and 1/3 cup sugar until it is well mixed together and forms a soft ball of
dough. Divide in half. Roll each half into a log 2" in diameter. Smooth the
sides to form an evenly formed log, flattening the edges slightly to make
it a rectangle if that is easier. Roll in the colored sugar until all sides
are coated. Wrap in the paper. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate
at least an hour, up to a day, or freeze for later baking.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice the logs into 1/8" slices and place
gently on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If any sugar remains in the
paper, sprinkle on top of the cookie dough. Bake 10-12 minutes until the
cookies are a light brown. Let cool a few minutes, then carefully transfer
to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Makes 5 dozen cookies.
