Beach Ball Cookies

These cookies are as bright as beach balls and just as fun. They're delightful for parties, school bake sales or when you just want a playful cookie. Use bright, bold colors or soft pastels for springtime. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, oil and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
• Divide dough into five equal portions. Tint each portion a different color with food coloring. Divide each portion into 24 equal pieces; roll each piece into a ball. Gently press together one ball of each color to form a larger ball; place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of a glass.
• Bake until bottoms are lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
