Candy Corn Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

- 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, room temperature

- 1 and 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar

- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

- 1 egg

- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 3 cups of flour

- red food coloring

- yellow food coloring

    Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and egg until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Slowly incorporate the two mixtures. Divide the dough into three equal parts. Color one with the yellow food coloring and another with yellow and red to create orange. Layer the different colors, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for several hours. Once chilled and you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the dough to look like candy corns and place them on a greased cookie sheet. Bake them for 10-12 minutes.
