1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
4 cups flour
food coloring
Cream together butter & sugar. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Add flour & mix well. Half the batter & color each half to desired colors. Drop the two together and bake on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
This is a recipe that my Mom received from her Home Ec. teacher when she was in high school back in the 70's. My kids love these cookies because they say they look like Play-Doh & they love choosing what colors they want them to be. For this batch, Aubrey wanted pink & Paxton wanted orange. This is probably why the colors in the picture didn't really show up very well. :) These cookies are so nice & versatile for pretty much any occasion; pink & blue for baby showers, green & red for Christmas, other pastels for Easter & spring, darker colors for fall & Halloween. You can go crazy with ideas & occasions for these goodies! :)
