New Recipe Tuesday: Melt In Your Mouth Christmas Marbles

As previously stated: no I am not dead. I had to take a break from blogging for a little while thanks to not having regular access to a computer, but rest assure: I am back.

Tonight, I thought I’d give a little video blogging a shot but unfortunately, when I uploaded it to youtube, it looked like an old King Kong movie because my mouth was not much up with the words. So maybe I'll try another time. 

Melt In Your Mouth Christmas Marbles

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter, softened
6 tablespoons of powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoons of vanilla
1 cup, minus 2 tablespoons of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Red and Green food coloring
Directions:
1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Beat butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
3.) Beat in vanilla until well blended.
4.) Gradually add in flour and salt, beating well after each addition.
5.) Transfer half the dough to another bowl, add red food coloring.
6.) Add in green food coloring to the other bowl, mixing well.
7.) For each marble, shape 1/2 teaspoonful of each color dough into one ball.
8.) Place one inch apart on prepared cookie sheet.
9.) Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
Notes: The recipe says to use food coloring paste, though I don’t have that so I used regular color. The colors may have been more vibrant/better mixed if I’d used paste, so next time, I’ll try that.
