Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick of butter softened to room temp
  • 1/3 cup canola OR vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp of cherry Jello powder mix
  • 1/2 tsp water
  • 1/2 tsp berry blue Jello powder mix
  • 1/2 tsp water
  • Red and blue food coloring
  • Popsicle sticks optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl add the sugar, powdered sugar and butter. Beat with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy, around 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the oil and the egg, beat until it’s mixed together.
  • In a separate mixing bowl add the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar, whisk together. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture 1 cup at a time while beating on a low- medium speed until all the flour has just incorporated.
  • Divide the dough into three medium sized bowls. In two small bowls add the 1/2 tsp cherry Jello powder to one small bowl with 1/2 tsp of water, stir. Repeat with the berry blue Jello powder in the other bowl.
  • Pour the cherry Jello water onto one of the dough balls, then add red food coloring to that dough ball. Pour the berry Jello water onto one of the other dough balls and add the blue food coloring to that one.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Grab the non dyed dough ball and form a 8-10 inch long block, make sure it’s in the middle of the tray.
  • I highly recommend plastic gloves to wear on your hands to avoid staining during this next step. Take the red dough ball and mix with your hand until the entire ball is completely red with no dough colored streaks. You may need to add more red dye to it to make it brighter.
  • Form into another long block and set on the left side of the non colored dough log on the tray. Repeat with the blue dough, mix and then form and place on the right side of the non colored dough. Cover in plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the dough out the fridge and cut 1/4 inch crosswise pieces off carefully. Place a popsicle stick down and place the entire cookie piece right on top of the popsicle stick. Using a fork, lightly press into the top of the cookie to create lines going down it.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-14 minutes. Let them cool completely and then serve. Enjoy!
