Paul Bunyan Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Cream together margarine, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in milk.

2. 2

   Sift together flour and baking powder. Stir into creamed mixture, blending well.

3. 3

   Divide dough into 3 sections. Use food coloring to dye one section green and the other red.

4. 4

   Chill one hour or more.

5. 5

   On floured surface, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut cookie with a large circle. It is best to use the lid of a raisin container or some other lid of similar size.

6. 6

   Use a shaped cookie cutter to cut out a whole in the middle of the circular dough. Then, place a colored cookie of the same pattern into the whole in the middle and vice versa.

7. 7

   Since they’re made with Paul Bunyan in mind, these cookies are supposed to be very large, about 3 or 4 inches in diameter.

8. 8

   Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheets for 10 minutes or until light brown at 375 degrees.
