Chill your cookie dough for 30 minutes. Then divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Tint one part with red food coloring (paste is better than liquid) and one part with blue food coloring. Then roll each color out into a rectangle and layer the dough one on top of the other with the non-tinted dough in the middle. you can add peanuts or candy pieces for more flavor and texture. Then cut as shown above and bake. Cool completely and then platter or tie in stacks with a ribbon.
