Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons citrus zest lemon, orange, or a mix
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Food coloring gels yellow and orange
Instructions:
Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy
Mix the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest into the butter
Mix well until everything is well mixed
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients little by little
Mix the dough until it holds together
Split the dough into three equal pieces
Leave some of it the way it is
For the second part, add yellow food coloring gel
For the third part, add orange food coloring gel
Work the dough around until the colors are spread out evenly
Use a small piece of each color of dough to make thin strips that are all the same length
The strips will look like stripes if you put them next to each other, gently press them together, and then twist them
Slowly press the ends together to close the twisted strip
Do the same thing with the rest of the dough and place the striped strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Put the dough strips with stripes in the fridge for about 30 minutes
Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up
After the dough strips have been chilled, cut them into cookies of any thickness you like
Place the cookies on a baking sheet, leaving space between them
After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden
After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet
Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down
