Step 3

Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just incorporated.

Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.

Step 5

Divide the cookie dough into 4 equal portions. Using the food coloring, color the doughs as desired.

Roll each colored dough into approximately a 15-inch rope.Place each colored rope next to each other on a large piece of cling wrap. Wrap the cling wrap up tightly, pressing the doughs together forming a large log. Remove the cling wrap and breaking off the dough with your hands into approximately 2-tablespoon portions. Roll the dough into a loose ball and place it onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes or until the edges are set. Don’t over bake these!!
