  2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
  3. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll 1 portion of dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle on a piece of lightly floured plastic wrap.
  4. Knead food coloring paste into remaining portion of dough while wearing rubber gloves. Roll tinted dough into a rectangle as directed in step 3. Invert untinted dough onto tinted dough; peel off plastic wrap. Cut dough in half lengthwise, forming 2 12x4 inch rectangles. Roll up each rectangle, jelly-roll fashion, starting at 1 long side, using bottom piece of plastic wrap as a guide. Wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze 4 hours or up to 1 month.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut ends off each dough log, and discard. Cut dough into 1/4 inch thick pieces, and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
