Candy Corn Cookies

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Candy Corn Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 pkg. (18 oz.) pre-made sugar cookie dough
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
• Orange and yellow food coloring*

Directions:

1. Line a 8x4 loaf pan with waxed paper, extending paper up over sides of pan.  
2. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms.  
3. On work surface or separate bowl,  place 1/3 of dough.  Knead desired amount of orange food coloring into dough until color is uniform. Do the same for another 1/3 of dough and yellow coloring.  
4. Press orange dough evenly in bottom of loaf pan.  Press yellow dough evening on top of orange.  Press uncolored dough evenly on top of yellow.  
5. Refrigerate about 2 hours, or until firm.  
6. Heat oven to 375 degrees.  
7. Remove dough from pan.  Cut crosswise into ¼ inch thick slices.  Cut each slice into triangle shaped wedges.  Round edges if desired.  Place one inch apart on greased cookie sheet.  
8. Bake 9 minutes, or until cookies are set and edges are very lightly browned.  Cool 1 minute.  Remove from cookie sheet.  Cool completely.  Store in tightly covered container.

Marsha's Notes:

The picture shows a layer that is chocolate.  To make that layer instead of the yellow, just melt 2 oz. of chocolate to mix with the dough.
