These Tie Dye Sugar Cookies are really easy to make when you use a store-bought cookie mix. The kids will love making fun designs! You can use your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe for these, but I used a Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix and cut down the time. You can have Momma's tie die sugar cookies using 2 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
Ingredients of Momma's tie die sugar cookies
- It's 1 of favorite sugar cookie dough.
- It's 2 of food dye colors (more if you like but too many will get muddy).
Luckily, these tie-dye sugar cookies require no special skills—in fact, a kid could make them. Getting the ultimate tie-dye effect is all about swirling the food coloring, and we've found it's best to stick to two colors (three, max) to avoid a muddy result. More mixing will have a softer, more marbled effect; less mixing will yield. The fun thing about these Tie Dye Sugar Cookies is that you are basically making one dough, dying it a couple colors, then rolling it together.
Momma's tie die sugar cookies step by step
- break sugar cookie dough in half, break one half into equal sized balls (as many as you have colors).
- mix a couple drops of food dye into each ball.
- break other half of cookie dough into like sized balls.
- roll each ball out and stack on top of each other alternating the undyed pieces with the colored ones.
- fold in half and mix a little bit. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER MIX OR YOU WILL END UP WITH A SOLID COLOR.
- if making cut out cookies start with the dough colors barely mixed because each time you have to re roll the dough the colors will mix more.
It is like playing with playdough, only instead of a ticked off mom when the colors get mixed and are impossible to separate again, you get a tasty, fun, and really cool looking treat. Repeat process with remaining cookies, adding and swirling small amounts of dyed glaze to plate as needed to maintain the tie-dye effect. Stand Mixer- I lived for a long time without one. My life was changed when I finally bit the bullet and bought one. Just do it and thank yourself later.
