Ingredients
1 batch sugar cookie dough, divided in half
Black food coloring or cocoa powder
Orange food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor boost)
Parchment paper or plastic wrap
Instructions
Divide dough into two equal parts.
Color one half with orange food coloring, and the other with black (or mix in cocoa).
Roll each dough into a rectangle (~¼ inch thick) between parchment sheets.
Stack black dough on top of orange and gently press together.
Roll tightly into a log starting from the short side to form a spiral.
Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice chilled log into ¼-inch rounds and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set.
Cool on a wire rack.
