Cloud Nine Rainbow Cookies

It's FRIDAY! Which calls for rainbow, unicorn majestic magicalness. Yes, it's finally the weekend and we couldn't be more excited. So why not show your mood in the kitchen and make these super colourful rainbow cookies. With only three ingredients, they're the easiest yet cutest delights.

You will need: 

One batch of Gookie Dough (a monster tub in original) 

Food gels 

One circle cookie cutter 

Directions 

Firstly, leave the Gookie Dough out of the fridge for a couple of hours so it has a chance to soften and this way, will be easier to work with. Then separate the dough into six balls and remove the chocolate chips as much as possible (at least you can pop them on the side and munch on them! Colour each one by working a few drops of food gel into the dough. If the dough becomes too wet, add a bit of flour.

Wrap the balls with cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for twenty minutes. 

Afterwards, roll each ball of dough so it's around 2mm thick. Cut strips of dough (one from each colour) and assemble into the shape of a rainbow. To help, you can run it along the inside of a circle cookie cutter so it gets the rounded shape. Press down lightly so they form together. 

Pop in the oven at 170 degrees for around 10 minutes. You don't want the cookies to become too brown because this will lessen the effect of the colour. 

Too adorable to eat! As an alternative, you can use natural colourants such as beets. Our taste buds are most certainly on cloud nine with this one. (Recipe credit to Good To Know)
