Preparation Steps

• Separate Dough: Begin by dividing the sugar cookie dough into two equal portions. Mix red food coloring into one half until vibrant.
• Roll Out Dough: On parchment paper, roll the red dough into a thin rectangle (¼ inch thick) and repeat with the plain dough.
• Layer Dough: Carefully stack the rolled doughs with parchment paper between them, gently pressing layers together.
• Form Log: Roll the layered dough tightly into a log shape using the bottom parchment paper.
• Refrigerate: Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll in sprinkles to coat before chilling again (3 hours or overnight).
• Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the dough log into cookies, arranging on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-20 minutes until set.
• Cooldown: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
