HOLIDAY SWIRL SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Get ahead of the holidays with this make-ahead recipe that's easy enough for a novice baker! It all starts with the tried-and-true shortbread formula: sugar, butter and flour. These three basic ingredients-plus a dash of vanilla-are all that's needed to make a dough that bakes up into almost inexplicably buttery and tender cookies, so they've got substance, as well as style. Their swirled look is the result of a little bit of food color and Betty's clever technique. Dough gets divided into three parts, dyed and recombined. A little bit of gentle kneading is all it takes to add the holly-jolly swirled effect!

Steps:
- In large bowl, beat softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the vanilla with spoon until well mixed. Stir in flour until blended. Knead 5 to 10 times or until dough is smooth.
- Divide dough into 3 pieces. Place 2 pieces of dough into 2 small bowls. To one bowl, add green food color; stir or knead to mix color thoroughly into dough. Repeat with red food color and second piece of dough.
- Cut each of the 3 doughs in half. Take one half of each of the doughs, and press together into a ball. Gently knead to mix colors (don't overwork dough or it will lose marbling). Shape into a roll, 6 inches long by 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Spread 1 tablespoon sparkling sugar on plastic wrap; roll log to cover. Wrap dough log tightly with plastic wrap. Repeat forming, shaping and rolling with remaining dough pieces. Refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet, reshaping if necessary.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Unwrap remaining dough log, and repeat slicing and baking. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.

Tips:
- Choose your favorite holiday candies: This recipe is customizable to your liking, so feel free to choose any holiday candies, chocolate, and pretzels that you enjoy.
- Use fresh ingredients: Make sure to use fresh butter, milk, and cream for the best flavor. If you're using a chocolate bar, make sure it's good quality and not too old.
- Don't overcook the mixture: Keep a close eye on the mixture as it cooks, and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches a soft ball stage. Overcooking will make the candy brittle.
- Let the candy cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the candy in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Store the candy in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out. You can store the candy at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Conclusion:
This Holiday Swirl Party Mix is a delicious and festive treat that's perfect for any holiday party. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So gather your favorite holiday candies and chocolate, and get ready to make a batch of this delicious party mix!
