Swirl cookies - colour themed parties or support your team!

'Are they real?' asked my friend Kris when I offered one of these to her and her son.  'Um yes....' I responded hesistantly 'Yes, I know, they look like... playdough'.

But they are real and they are bright, but you don't need to make them that bright!  You could make them with any dough you like - chocolate and vanilla perhaps, chocolate and mint?  Yes, and yes,yes.   

The reason these are bright?  Well first of all in my defence, I have used Queens natural colours.  Secondly they were made pink and blue from some leftover cookie dough I had when I made some lovely twinnies I know some birthday biscuits.  I needed to use it up and these are easy.  I have frozen some of the biscuits too.

So if you're having a colour-themed party and perhaps making something to take to a grand final final party, take some biscuits to show which team you support!

I have used this recipe for sugar cookies but use any roll out dough recipe you like.  Divide and colour as you wish.

Method:

Layout your two (or three if you like!) pieces of dough and roll them to a similar size/thickness.

Make up some eggwash with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk and brush one of the layers.  Lay the other layer on top and then roll it flat on top.  This adheres the layers together.

Cut a slice off the top of the layer, and then lay it on it's side and make a coil.  Place on greased trays until cooked through.

Tell me:  Which colours or flavours would you like to try?
