Saturday Snippets: Wrapped Colored Dough Spritz Cookies and 2018 Lottery Experiment

It's been a little... cold on the east coast... How about heating up the oven (warming up the house) and trying a new decorating technique for spritz cookies. I've added food dye to the dough before, smooshed the colors together and made simple variegated cookies, but this Wrapped Colored Dough Idea is intended to give your cookies a specific look. A solid center and color all around the perimeter. Start with a small log of color for the center, then flatten out the next color into a rectangle and completely wrap the outside of your center color (think of the hotdog snack Pigs in a Blanket:@)

For best presentation use small amounts of dough, maybe only fill the press about 1/4-1/3 full each time. 

I saw a great video about how to do this on Creative Cookie Press HERE.

Leftover dough can then be pressed together and used up to create the simple variegated look below.

I decided I'm going to try a little Lottery Experiment this year.
Every weekend I'll buy a $1 scratch off ticket and keep track of how well I do.
I'll be curious to see the bottom line at the end of the year (and thought you might be too).

 I don't see any duck feet...

As you can see, I'm off to a great start... ugh.

Stay warm and have a happy day:@)
