Tie Dye Sugar Cookies

These Tie Dye Sugar Cookies are really easy to make when you use a store-bought cookie mix. The kids will love making fun designs!

You can use your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe for these, but I used a Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix and cut down the time. Do what makes you happy. I also used neon food coloring to make the vibrant colors that just pop. My kids had fun making these! I found that putting these in the fridge for about 30 minutes after mixing the dough made it easier to handle. If it gets too sticky to work with, just pop it back in the fridge to firm up again.  The method to making the cookies is simple. Just make snake shapes like you do with play dough and roll it into a spiral and place flat side down onto cookie sheets. I’ll explain it all in the directions below, but these really are super easy to make. I hope you like them! I know your kids will.
