Ingredients:

  • 1 (17 1/2 oz) package sugar cookie mix (and the ingredients needed for that type of cookie mix, usually egg, oil and water)
  • 3 -4 drops green food coloring
  • 3 -4 drops red food coloring
  • 3/4 tsp peppermint extract, divided

Directions:

  1. Mix together the ingredient for the sugar cookie mix, following the package instructions.
  2. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  3. To the fist portion, add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and mix well.
  4. To the second portion, add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and the green food coloring (to make dough as light or dark green as you like).
  5. To the third portion, add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and the red food coloring (to make dough as light or dark red/pink as you like).
  6. Roll each portion into a 12-inch long roll (about 1/2 inch thick).
  7. You will end up with a couple different rolls of each color.
  8. Lay 1 pink roll beside 1 green roll; press together slightly.
  9. Place 1 plain roll on top.
  10. Press rolls together to form a tricolor roll; wrap in wax paper.
  11. Repeat for remaining rolls.
  12. Refrigerate wrapped rolls for several hours or overnight.
  13. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  14. Roll wrapped cookie dough lightly to make sure edges are sealed and the dough is a round roll.
  15. Cut chilled roll into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  16. (Keep unused dough in refrigerator; its much easier to cut when cold).
  17. Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until set, but not yet brown.
  18. Let sit on cookie sheets for 1-2 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.
