Colored vanilla drop cookies with colored sugar

These are an easy dessert that you can make for holidays or bring to theme parties.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup margarine or butter
• 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg
• Liquid food coloring of your choice
• Colored sugar of your choice

Note: I was able to make 25 cookies with this recipe.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat the egg, vanilla, sugar, and butter/margarine together.
3. Beat in the flour, salt, and baking soda.
4. Mix in a few drops of food coloring at a time until you like the color. I used 20 drops to get the pink shade of the cookies in the above picture.
5. Use a small spoon to drop clumps onto a baking sheet. Place them at least an inch apart.
6. Shake the colored sugar over each clump.
7. Bake for 9 minutes.
