Play Dough Cookies

I haven't tired this recipe but it definitely looks like a fun one to make with the kids or that the kids would love to eat! If anyone tries these be sure to comment and share what you think of them, I'm thinking they'll just taste like sugar cookies, but they sure are fun!

Play Dough Cookies

3/4 cup butter
3oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
assorted food coloring (gel or paste works best)

In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms. Divide dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food coloring. Wrap in plastic and chill for two hours. (Stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes if you don't like to wait)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Shape colors into 3/4 inch balls. For each cookie place one pink, one orange, one green, and one blue ball together and roll to make one giant ball. Roll into a 12 inch long snake, and then starting at one end coil roll to make a cookie. Place cookies 2 to 3 inches apart on greased cookie sheet to allow for spreading.

Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
