RAINBOW COOKIES WITH A PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE FILLING

DIRECTIONS AND INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup confectioners sugar

Cream these together well

Blend in 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour gradually

 

Divide the dough into fourths

Color one part red one yellow and one green by adding at least 4 drops of food coloring kneading in till smooth and even

Leave fourth portion uncolored.

Shape one fourth of each color dough into a long strip 1/2 inch or so thick

and put together then roll out

 

Now cut the cookies (cutting into rounds is easiest for peanut butter filling but if working with  kids like I am today, they like to use all different cutters and shapes)

Sprinkle sugar or colored sugar on top for more flavor.

Placed on greased cooking sheets

Bake at 350 6-8 minutes Do not brown.

Cool on wire rack.

Place cookies together with peanut butter filling.

Repeat this  cookie making process  till all are done.

The kids REALLY enjoyed this… was not about eating the cookie as much as it was about MAKING the cookie.
