Marbled Peppermint Cookies

These Festive Sugar Cookies Feature a Colorful Swirled Decorative Motif

— December 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
Just in time for the holidays are these festive sugar cookies by Sprinkle Bakes that offer an unconventional and skill-free method of decorating the minty flavored biscuits. The cookies feature a swirled marbled aesthetic made using red food coloring that is ideal for consumers that are looking for an elegant, but simple to make, holiday dessert to put together.

Often holiday baking consists of just as much time spent on the decorations as the cooking process. However this is not the case with this Marbled Peppermint Sugar Cookie recipe. The trick is in creating two separate sugar cookie doughs, one that is left white and one that is red. The two are rolled in together and slightly mixed to create a swirled effect. Then the cylinder dough roll is sliced into individual rounds.
