Patriotic Pinwheel Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter, at room temp.
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• Food coloring in red and blue

Instructions

1. Start by whipping your butter in a large bowl until smooth.
2. Add your granulated sugar and beat until it's mostly smooth again (you'll still be able to see the sugar granules).
3. Add you egg, baking powder, and vanilla extract, and beat until everything is just combined.
4. Beat in the flour until the dough clumps together in one mass (it should no longer be sticky to the touch, either).
5. Separate your dough into three equal parts.
6. Flatten one ball of dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and set it in the fridge.
7. This will be your plain, white dough.
8. Color one of the remaining balls of dough red, and one blue.
9. Flatten both into disks, wrap in plastic, and allow all three disks of dough to firm up in the refrigerator for about an hour.
10. Roll out each ball of dough to about 1/2" thick, and stack them one on top of the other (I did red on the bottom, followed by white, and then blue).
11. Trim the edges with a pizza cutter so you have nice, straight edges.
12. Roll the dough into a log and cut into 1/2" thick cookies.
13. Bake at 350* Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until no longer shiny on top.
