Directions

1
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl.
2
Beat butter, brown, and white sugars in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and LorAnn Super-Strength Cotton Candy Flavor until smooth. Gradually stir in flour mixture until evenly blended.
3
Gather dough into a ball, and divide into two equal parts. Place one half in a second bowl. Add pink food coloring to dough in one bowl and teal food coloring to the dough in the other bowl. Use a fork or wooden spoon to blend food coloring into dough until evenly blended. Add additional drops of food coloring to create the desired shade.
4
Roll out pink dough to ¼-inch thickness. Roll out blue dough to ¼-inch thickness, and place on top of pink dough. Beginning on one edge, roll both doughs to make a log so the two colors spiral inside each other. Wrap log in waxed paper, then in a cotton towel, and refrigerate at least eight hours.
5
After refrigeration, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
6
Spread sprinkles on a floured surface, then roll the cookie dough log over them to coat.
7
Slice the log into 1/8-inch thick rounds and place on prepared baking sheets.
8
Bake in preheated oven for five to six minutes. Watch carefully to prevent edges from browning.
9
Remove from oven and cool on racks.
