Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, extending foil over edges.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, crumble dough; stir or knead in flour until well mixed. Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Place 2 dough portions in 2 small bowls. Stir or knead in green gel food color into 1 bowl and red gel food color into other bowl. Leave third dough portion white. Drop tablespoonfuls of all colors of dough in random pattern into pan. Press dough evenly into bottom of pan so that each color just touches.
  • 3
    Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Use foil to lift from pan; pull foil away from edges. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a festive look, sprinkle cookies with 2 teaspoons white sparkling sugar or granulated sugar before baking. White sparkling sugar can be found in the baking aisle at the grocery store.
  • tip 2
    Kids will love helping press the three different colors of dough into the pan to create a unique marbled appearance.
  • tip 3
    Cut cookies into triangles instead of squares, if desired.
  • tip 4
    Store cookies in an airtight container in single layers between parchment or waxed paper at room temperature up to 3 days. Cookies can be frozen up to 2 months. To thaw, let stand uncovered at room temperature 1 to 2 hours.
