I 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

Ooooh yes that might work. Although I think the problem isn't so much it stretching as the fact that it's on the bottom when I'm rolling all the layers out...and it ends up spreading more than the others.

Maybe I could flip the whole thing over halfway through rolling it out...

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;
