Red-and-White Marbled Cookies


Over the weekend, the December/January issue of Country Living arrived in my mailbox.  While I was reading the magazine, my eyes instantly landed on these red-and-white marbled cookies.  As many of you know, I enjoy baking and learning new baking techniques.   I also happen to love marble stone and would love to have marble countertops in my new kitchen someday!

Using a basic sugar-cookie dough, I divided the dough in half and then tinted one half red.  Next, I rolled each half into a rope and then layed the two pieces side by side and twisted those into one rope.  Then, I just kind of "smooshed" the two colors together to make the marble effect.   I just wish that marble kitchen countertops were that easy to make!

I joined the link parties at It's So Very Cheri! and Sew Many Ways.
