Instructions
To Make the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate larger mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, mixing as you add. Divide the cookie dough into 4 bowls and add about 2-3 drops of the food coloring to each one, mixing until you have 4 different colors of cookie dough.
- Scoop about 1 teaspoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on the cookie sheet leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each dough ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges just start to turn a light golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To Make The Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2 sticks of butter and 3 cups of powdered sugar.
- Add the remaining 3 cups of powdered sugar and continue mixing.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until the frosting becomes light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
To Make The Sandwich Cookies:
- Scoop frosting into a piping bag.
- Pipe the frosting on the bottom side of one cookie.
- Place another cookie of the same color on top of the frosting (so the bottom side of that cookie also faces inward).
- Gently press the two cookies together so they stick together, but not enough to squeeze the frosting out the sides.
