I thought my family needed a little pick-me-up treat today and when I ran across a photo of tie dyed cookies on Pinterest (aka "The Devil" lol) I knew I had to make them! When I clicked on the photo though, there wasn't a working link... Go go gadget crafty brain and I came up with this :)
First I had to find a good Sugar Cookie Recipe :) I used this one (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-sugar-cookies/) but since I didn't think far enough ahead to the cutting part there were some issues...
I highly recommend using a recipe that is for rolled cookies instead (like this one: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/)
I made the dough
Separated it into 4 bowls and added food coloring to each :) Red and Green would make cute Christmas cookies!!
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper (wax paper works too) and spoon the colored dough onto it in random design :)

I then rolled the parchment paper to make it into a "log."
Since my dough was really sticky I chose to freeze the log until it was hard.

Once I was happy with the solidity I cut 1/4 pieces from the log and baked them at 350° for 9-12 minutes. (We like ours a little gooey in the middle so we did 9 minutes)
Yield: 3 dozen cookies :)
