This was my first time making these cookis and they were delicious and very buttery. Followed the ingredient amounts as written but I also use more colored sugar than was listed and my swirls turned out just fine too! The dough can be a little tricky to roll up. I rolled it out on a slightly floured sheet of wax paper and didn't have any problems with rolling or slicing them after placing them in the freezer for an hour. Will make these agian since they make a wonderful treat for home or to give away! Plus, kids love them too!

I made this for a picnic. They taste so good! I used more colored sugar than called for so the color would show up. Worked really well.

I've made these twice and both times were delicious, very buttery. Followed the ingredient amounts written except I did use more colored sugar than was listed and my swirls turned out just fine. The dough can be a little tricky to roll up but didn't have any problems with slicing them. I like refrigerator slice and bake cookies because I can mix them ahead of time and then bake another day. These will be a "go to" recipe for a lot of hholidays and other special occasions.
