Colorful Cookies aka Playdough Cookies

My friend Alison Fox made these cookie a while back and I thought they were so cool so in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday (March 2) and a playdough play date I am having tomorrow I thought these cookies would be fun! They were easy to make and the girls and E loved them!
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3/4 C butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
2 and 3/4 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
assorted food coloring

1. In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
2. 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. (I stuck it in the freezer for 15 minutes)
3. Preheat oven to 350. 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!
