List of Ingredients



• 1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
  
• 1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
  
• 1/4 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
  
• 1 egg
  
• 3 food colors
  
• White coarse sugar crystals or granulated sugar, if desired
  
• 1/2 tub Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy vanilla ready-to-spread frosting
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 375. Stir cookie mix, margarine, flour and egg until soft dough forms. Divide dough evenly among 3 bowls; tint each dough by stirring in a few drops of desired food color. (For a variety of colors, make several batches of cookies.)
   
2. Shape 1/3 cup of each color of dough into a rope about 5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Place ropes side by side and a little more than 1/4 inch apart on floured surface; roll until 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 2- to 2 1/2-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter so each cookie has 3 colors. Sprinkle with sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. (When rerolling dough scraps, carefully lay matching colors together. For marbled cookies, mix colors of dough scraps - but don't mix colors too much or they won't be distinct.)
   
3. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or unti edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread frosting on bottoms of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
