How to make

STEP 1

Combine sugar and butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg and orange juice; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking powder; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2

Divide dough into thirds. Knead pink food color into one portion. Knead purple food color into second portion. Leave third portion plain.

Tip: Coloring Dough
STEP 3

Flatten each third into disk shape. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight until firm.
STEP 4

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 5

Use one-half of each dough disk (keeping remaining dough refrigerated); alternately place spoonfuls of doughs onto lightly floured surface to create marbled effect. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with edible glitter, if desired. Bake 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
