Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Purple Gel Food Coloring
- 1 tablespoon Black Gel Food Coloring
- 1 cup Purple Sprinkles
- 1 cup Chocolate or Black Sprinkles
Instructions
- Cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Mix in the eggs and milk until fully combined. Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until a soft dough forms.
- Split the dough into three portions. Color one half with purple gel food coloring, leave one half plain (white), and color the last quarter black.
- Roll out the black and white dough into 6×12-inch rectangles. Stack them together and gently roll them into a single layer.
- Roll out the purple dough and sprinkle it with purple sprinkles before rolling it into a log shape.
- Place the purple log on the short end of the black-and-white layers. Carefully roll it to enclose the purple log, forming a large spiral log.
- Roll the log in chocolate sprinkles for added texture. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice the chilled log into ¼-inch rounds, spacing them out on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle more toppings on top. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are just set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
