Tie-Dyed Kite Cookies
Our Test Kitchen bakers had their heads in the clouds when they crafted these crispy cookies! They "tie-dyed" refrigerated dough with food coloring and turned red licorice ropes into kite tails.
24 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.
Ingredients
1/2 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened
1 to 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pink, green and blue gel food coloring
24 to 28 pieces multi-colored pull-and-peel licorice (9-1/2 inches each)
48 to 56 Life Savers candies
1/2 cup vanilla frosting
Directions
On a lightly floured surface, knead cookie dough and flour until
combined (dough will be stiff). Press into a 5-in. circle. Top with
one dot of each color food coloring; knead 5-10 times or until
colors just begin to swirl.
Roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out with a floured 3-in.
diamond-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking
sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-13 minutes or until edges are
lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to
wire racks.
Turn cookies bottom side up. For each cookie, lace one piece of
licorice through one Life Saver; loop the licorice through the Life
Saver again to hold the candy in place. Repeat with second Life
Saver. Attach kite tails to the back of each cookie with frosting.
Let stand until set. Yield: about 2 dozen.
