Step-by-Step Instructions for Swirled Christmas Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, combining on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three portions, color one red, one green, and keep one plain. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll each portion into rectangles and stack them with green on the bottom, white in the middle, and red on top, then roll into a tight log.
- Roll the log into sprinkles to coat, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
- Slice the log into rounds and place them on baking sheets, spacing apart.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
