modern cookies

It's been a cold and gray week, and it's been raining hard for a day or so... so I decided to bake some colorful cookies this morning. Aren't they so very colorful and modern? They look sort of inedible but I assure you they are quite buttery and tasty. I used the refrigerator cookie recipe from the beloved Betty Crocker's Cooky Book (my mom got my sis and I the reproduction editions that came out a few years ago). Then I just put a whole lot of food coloring in the dough. A whole, whole lot. I hope they aren't toxic.

I have been thinking a lot about the Kim family this week - my heart goes out to them. Lisa, Stephanie, and their mom are organizing a benefit art/craft auction, please visit Lisa's blog for more information (I will link to the auction site once it goes live).
