Rainbow Cookies

a cute cookie for kids

A soft, chewy sugar cookie that children really love. Making the rainbows is a little extra work but worth it. 

1 cup margarine 
¾ cup sugar 
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
3 cup flour
½ t. soda 


Mix margarine, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour and soda. Divide the dough into 5 equal parts color each red, orange, yellow, green and blue. Pat each color out on a piece of wax paper into a strip about 4 inches by 10 inches. Stack the strips on top of each other in rainbow order. Slice in ¼ inch slices. Gently curve each slice on a cookie sheet to look like rainbows. 

Bake at 375 for about 7 minutes. Makes 2 ½ dozen rainbows.
