Lime Swirled Icebox Cookies
- 1/2 cups Butter, Softened
- 1-1/2 cup Vanilla Sugar (see Recipe Box Or Note Below)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Gelatin Powder (not Sugar Free)
- 1/4 teaspoons Green Gel Food Coloring
- 1/4 cups Green Sugar Sprinkles
- In a mixer, beat butter with vanilla sugar until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour with baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture. Divide dough in half.
- To one half of the dough, add in vanilla extract. Lay the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Lay a second sheet of parchment on top of the dough. Roll dough to form a 12-inch x 8-inch rectangle. Freeze dough for about 15 minutes.
- To the second half of the dough, add in gelatin and food coloring. Lay the dough on parchment paper, with a second sheet on top. Roll the dough to form a similar-sized rectangle. Freeze dough 15 minutes.
- Remove both sheets of dough from freezer. Remove the top layer of parchment paper for each rectangle. Lay sheets of dough together (with parchment on the outside). Remove 1 sheet of parchment paper (dough should have 1 remaining on bottom). Slowly peel dough from the bottom parchment by rolling up the long end. You are going to form a log of dough. Tightly roll this dough and rewrap in parchment. Freeze until ready to use.
- When ready to bake, wet fingertips with water. Roll log of dough in sprinkles. Slice 1/4-inch thick and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 7-9 minutes (in a 350u0b0F oven).
- Note: See my recipes for vanilla sugar. If you don't have vanilla sugar, scrape 1 vanilla bean into your granulated sugar and continue the recipe as written.
