Steps:
- Place 20 ounces black dough between two 12-by-14-inch pieces of parchment. Roll out to a 7-by-12 inch rectangle, about 1/3-inch thick. Repeat with 20 ounces white dough. Chill both rectangles at least 30 minutes.
- Place 12 ounces black dough between two 12-by-14-inch pieces of parchment. Roll out to a 4 3/4-by-12-inch rectangle. Repeat with 12 ounces white dough. Chill at least 15 minutes.
- Place 6 ounces black dough on a clean work surface. Roll into a 12-inch-long log, about 3/4 inch in diameter. Repeat with 6 ounces white dough. Wrap in parchment. Chill at least 15 minutes.
- Remove top piece of parchment from the smaller black rectangle. Unwrap white log, and place lengthwise on black rectangle. Using bottom piece of parchment for support, wrap black dough around the white log, pressing with fingers to seal seam. Roll log back and forth to smooth seam.
- Repeat step four with the black log and the smaller rectangle of white dough.
- Remove the top piece of parchment from the larger white rectangle. Place white log wrapped in black dough lengthwise on the white rectangle. Using bottom piece of parchment for support, wrap white dough around log, pressing with fingers to seal seam. Roll log back and forth to smooth seam.
- Repeat step six with the black log wrapped in white dough and the larger rectangle of black dough. Wrap both logs in parchment. Chill 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Remove parchment from logs, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; place on sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
TRI-COLOR BULLSEYE SPRITZ COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add and mix in 1 egg at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix. Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl and add to the butter mixture, beating until the flour is just incorporated.
- Separate the cookie dough into 3 bowls as follows: a small amount for the center of the bullseye then divide the rest equally for the other 2 rings. Add 2 to 3 drops of one of the food colors to the small bowl, stirring to distribute the color evenly. Repeat with a different food color for each of the remaining bowls of dough.
- Place each colored dough in separate piping bags, making sure to put the smallest amount of dough in the bag with the smallest tip. Starting with the outside of each bullseye, pipe 3-inch rings onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Use the next bag to pipe the second colored ring inside the first ring, then use the third bag to fill in the center of the bullseye. If the edges of the piped rings overlap, use a bit of water to moisten a finger and smooth out the uneven section.
- Freeze the bullseyes for 10 minutes before baking. Then bake until the cookies are set but not yet golden brown, about 11 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees at the halfway mark.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

BUCKEYE COOKIES III
These are like little peanut butter and chocolate balls. You basically mix it all up together. It is a perfect recipe to do at a sleepover or for parties. It is pretty simple and it really doesn't take too long. It takes about as long as chocolate chip cookies do, maybe a little longer, but if you love chocolate and peanut butter, you'll love this.

BULL'S EYE PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
These are just like little peanut butter cup balls. There is a bare circle on the top where the peanut butter shows through and this is the bull's eye (I guess). You could dip the whole thing and have just a chocolate covered ball. Anyway, they are delicious and they make a lot.

Steps:
- Mix the peanut butter mixture together well.
- Form into small balls and put in refrigerator over night.
- When ready to dip, use a double boiler and melt the wax, chocolate bits, and the squares of chocolate together.
- Using a toothpick (I sometimes use a fork so I don't have to get rid of the toothpick hole), insert it into the middle of the ball and dip in the chocolate mixture about 7/8 of the way, leaving a small eye at the top.
- Put on wax paper to cool.
BAKED BULL'S-EYE EGGS
Baking (rather than frying) an egg-in-a-hole means you can make many at once -- perfect for serving a group. An array of toppings lets everyone customize their own.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a nonstick rimmed baking sheet. Butter bread on both sides. With a cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut a 2 1/2-inch round from center of each bread slice. Place slices and rounds on sheet and bake until golden, 6 minutes. Remove from oven and flip bread.
- Carefully crack 1 egg into center of each slice. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, 8 to 9 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (sprinkle with cheese, if using, during last 30 seconds of baking). Serve with desired toppings.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a 2-qt sauce pan. Mix well.
- Simmer over very low heat for 15-minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tips:
- Properly Measure Ingredients: Use accurate measuring tools to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. This is especially important for baking recipes, where precise measurements are crucial for success.
- Cream Butter and Sugar Together: This step helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cookie. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps dissolve the sugar, preventing a grainy texture in the final cookie.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Look for high-quality butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps firm it up, making it less likely to spread in the oven. This results in taller, chewier cookies.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven plays a crucial role in the outcome of your cookies. Follow the recipe's recommended temperature and baking time to ensure perfectly baked cookies.
- Avoid Over-Baking: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they are baking. Over-baking can dry them out and make them hard. Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as they are set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Conclusion:
With careful attention to detail and a few simple techniques, you can create delicious and visually appealing bullseye cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family. Experiment with different flavor combinations and decorations to find your favorite variations. Remember to enjoy the process and have fun in the kitchen!
