Candy Corn Cookies
1 box (22.3 oz.) sugar-cookie mix1 egg
1 Tbs. water
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
Red and yellow food coloring
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
Heat oven to 375*F. Prepare cookie dough according to package directions for rolled cookies. Divide dough into thirds. Tint one third yellow and one third orange with food coloring. Tint remaining third brown by mixing in cocoa powder and 2 drops red food coloring. chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
To make cookies, pull off about one fourth of each color dough and roll into a 1/2" thick rope. On a sheet of waxed paper, lay ropes horizontally next to eachother, with orange in the middle. Cover with another sheet of waxed paper.
Roll ropes out until dough is 3" wide. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Trim edges; cut into triangles.
Arrange cookies 1" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 6-7 minutes, or until edges just begin to turn golden. Cool 1 minute on sheets. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
