potato_headI HAVE TAKEN THE SWIRL COOKIES TO THEIR ULTIMATE CONCLUSION
They're sugar cookies; I made half a batch (because we only had two eggs lmfao) and split it into four parts. One I colored red, one I left plain, one I colored green and one blue. Then chilled, piled them on top of each other (I meant to get photos of that part this time...SORRY GUIZ) and rolled them out and so on.
As you can probably see, the blue (on the bottom/outside) got so thin that it kind of blended with the green...oh well. I guess the limit on number of colors you can do and get a really clear result is 4. Unless you were to roll out some of the layers separately and then move them on top of the others, but that would be...really difficult to do. Moving rolled-out cookie dough on top of more rolled-out cookie dough? Ugh.
AND BAKE
Then I decorated them (with this icing as always, colored with some new 'neon' food coloring I picked up at the store).
ZIG-ZAGS 'N' SWIRLS 'N' SHIT YEAHHHH

Date: 2012-04-29 10:31 pm (UTC)Maybe instead of dividing the dough equally, make whatever color is gonna be on the outside have more dough than the color on the inside? That way it has enough to stretch around without getting too thin. I've never made pinwheel cookies though, so idk if that would actually help.

IDK I think I won't be trying this many colors again any time soon anyway lol, coloring that many different sections of dough is kind of a pain too because unless you want to re-wash the mixer for each one you have to do it by hand. My hands were rainbow x3;
