Fall leaf cookies

Ingredients                                 *means optional

1    box of your favorite cookie dough mix OR   1  roll of   premade refridgerated cookie dough
1    box of food coloring

Note ~
     Other ingredients will be needed but vary depending on your choice of cookie dough.

Directions ~

     In one large bowl mix the entire batch of cookie dough according to box. Break up mixture into 4 bowls and use food coloring to dye the cookies. I used green, red, and yellow, leaving the last bit undyed as the natural chocolate chip color is brown.
Using spoons, plop the dyed cookie dough into differant locations on an aluminun foiled cookie sheet and press flat. When all the colors are onthe sheet, press them together so its a solid multi colored sheet of dough. For added affect, you can run a fork thru to pull colors into colors. Bake according to package directions.

     When the cookies are done, use a cookie press or knife to cut out leaf shapes. DO this while still warm! This way the cookies are easier to shape n wont crumble when being shaped. If hand carving use a knife to cut veins into the cookies :)
