Colored cookies plus stripes

Hey! This year has been a really busy one and it's not over yet! I have just returned from an internship in a hotel boutique in Morelia, Michoacan. Let me tell you I fell in love with this city, there are lots of cultural, music, theatre and film events every day. But that's not all, food is delicious, all typical dishes have that "something" that makes me wanna eat them always. From corundas to carnitas, I'm drooling right now.

 

Today I want to share with you a technique for striped cookies. This photos have been sitting for a while now. And I guessed since its summer and kids are on vacation, this cookies are a real good project to make with them (:
Here you can find my favorite sugar cookie recipe (:

COLORED COOKIES

later on I will upload the step by step pictures. 

Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Divide it in the number of colors you want your cookies to be.

Cover with film a pound cake or square pan. 

Roll your first color and put it in the pan.

Roll your second color and put it in the pan over the first color. Press slightly for the doughs to stick to each other and to eliminate any air pockets. 

Repeat previous steps until you are finished with your colors. 

Depending on how thick you roll the cookie dough, that's how thick the color stripes are going to be..

Remove the block of dough with help from the film. 

Slice the dough 1/4 inch thick, or as thick as you desire your cookies. 

Place each cookies in your cookie sheet and precede as always in your baking. 

Let cool, enjoy 

The key to achieving straight lines is to roll each color of dough even, in all its surface. Mine are not really straight, but I love how they turned out. Remember that the color of the dough may change after baking.
