2 ¾ cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonsbaking powder
½teaspoonsea salt
1cupbutter, at room temperature
½ cupbrown sugar, packed
½cupgranulated sugar
2teaspoonspure vanilla extract
1largeeggs
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt
In a large bowl, use an electric beater to beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
1 cup butter, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 large eggs
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl a few times with a rubber spatula, until a stiff dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 small bowls. Add a few drops of the food coloring to the bowls, one color per bowl, and stir until the color is incorporated.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring
Working with one color at a time put 1 teaspoon of the dough on 9 evenly spaced spots on one of the baking sheets. Next, put another teaspoon of another color of dough so it touches the first color. Repeat until each cookie has all 6 colors.
Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. Make sure not to overcook them or the colors will start to fade. To make the cookies perfectly round, as soon as they come out of the oven, place a cup slightly larger than the cookie over the top and swirl it around gently. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cook completely before you store them.
Notes
If the dough feels a bit sticky, it's likely that it's too warm. This can happen as it takes a bit of time to color the dough and piece together the cookies. If it's sticky, pop the unbaked cookies into your fridge for 10 minutes.
