Let kids play Jackson Pollock by squeezing drops of liquid food coloring onto large squares of dough and then using a straw to blow the color around. Layer colors until the abstract "painting" is complete.

Cook's Notes

Since this cookie is so buttery, keep the dough well chilled so it's easier to work with.

    Batterdip, I have been getting the daily cookie recipe for probably three years and do not read many ot the comments...I collect cookie recipes that are new so I have seen my share of repeats. You are so right, ttoday, I actually read all of the comments and am still laughing . There is no common sense in manmy of them. Blowing is NOT spiting. Tomorrow I will be auditing the recipes again.

    I really don't think using a hairdryer is the best idea for blowing the food coloring around . I would be afraid it might contain hair and I would be blowing it all over my cookies . The caned air sounds great but my can has a lot of pressure in it ,and would be blowing food coloring all over the place, So a straw sounds like a better chioice for me .

    Sally4th, what a brilliant idea! The canned air made for computers even comes with its own tiny straw to put in the nozzle. Perfect solution for the folks who don't have sense enough to understand that the heat of the oven would kill any germs, and that this recipe is intended for home use by children who have already shared all their germs with their siblings anyway.

    This is a great idea. However the blowing in the straw needs to be revised, you know kids tend to spit alittle. Maybe a blowdryer would work on a low setting. Dragonfly PS. I just read the comment about using canned air. Great idea!

    You ladies should all avoid eating out at restaurants at all. Chefs and waiters talk and shout (and therefore spit) all over the food which then we all so nicely eat and enjoy. Check it out next time you eat out - you?Ǭ

    Used canned air if you don't want to gently blow through straws!

    I did this today with a group of younger children. We made sure to only serve kids their OWN cookies by drawing a diagram of the cookie sheet to remember whose was whose. We also used wax paper on the table as a work surface, and changed it (and the straw, of course) with each child so it was sanitary. No worries and they LOVED the results!

    Can we try with laying it flat on the tray and then drop the food colouring instead of blowing use the marble and create design. I will give a try and let you know.
