Artificially-colored goodness!PLAY DOUGH COOKIES
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
assorted colors of paste or gel food coloring
(optional: lollipop sticks or sugar sprinkles)
In a large bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and almond extract; beat until smooth.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms. Divide dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food color.
"Mommy! I'm stirring with all my might!"Roll each color into small, 1 inch balls. Combine balls into batches of four and press together to make one large ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
We used Ziploc bags.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll each ball into a 12 inch long rope and, starting at one end, coil rope to make a 3-inch round cookie. Place cookies 3 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper). Sprinkle with sugar sprinkles or insert lollipop sticks.
Caralie used sugar sprinkles to make them "pretty."Bake cookies for 8 - 10 minutes or until centers of cookies are set. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container. Makes a dozen cookies.
Don't they look lovely?

Ooooh these look cute and yummy!
I will try these someday when I have an oven.
Jamie you crack me up always saying, "Ooooh, I'm going to try those......well, that is WHEN I get an oven one day." haha I commend you for being able to prepare dinners without one!
Hey James, when you come to Utah, we'll have to cook/bake some of these recipes and use your parents' oven! That way, you can say that you've tried it! And Wendy is so right, I don't know what I'd do without an oven. Aaah, the glorious every day convienances. :c)
