Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • purple, yellow and green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add in the flour mixture, and mix until fully combined.
  • Divide the cookie dough into three bowls, and add purple food coloring to one, yellow to another, and green to another. In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
