1 Heat oven to 375°F. Stir cookie mix, butter, flour and egg in medium bowl until dough forms. Divide dough evenly among 3 bowls; tint each dough by stirring in a few drops of desired food color.
2 Shape 1/3 cup of each color of dough into a rope about 5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Place ropes side by side and a little more than 1/4 inch apart on floured surface; roll until 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 2- to 2 1/2-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter so each cookie has 3 colors. Sprinkle with sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. (When rerolling dough scraps, carefully lay matching colors together.)
3 Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread frosting on bottoms of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.

Mine did not turn out as nice as these did but they taste good. I had trouble getting them to roll out. I think if i did them again i would refrigerate the dough. So maybe they would not just stick to rolling pin and my hands. Since i could not get them to roll i just dropped a bit of the 3 colors of cake dough together. I decided since mine are not all the same size not to make them in to sandwich cookies but my husband says they are just as good and really don't need calories of the icing anyway.

My cookies didn't look as awesome as the picture, but they still look pretty good and I'm happy with most of my results. But instead of using the pre-made mix, I just made sugar cookie dough from scratch. Still tasted good =)

These were great. The whole family helped make them. We made them for a bake sale. They were a little time consuming but in the end it really paid off.
