Swirly Biscuits

Swirly Biscuits

Bright, buttery swirly biscuits with pink and white spirals, iced edges, and a crunchy sprinkle coating. A fun and festive treat perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pink gel food coloring
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half.
  4. Add pink gel food coloring to one half and mix until evenly colored.
  5. Roll each dough half into equal-sized rectangles, about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Layer the colored dough on top of the plain dough and roll into a tight log. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  7. Slice into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes.
  8. Cool completely. Mix powdered sugar and milk to form icing. Dip biscuit edges and roll in sprinkles. Let set.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant color without affecting dough texture.
  • Chill the dough well to ensure clean spiral slices.
  • Freeze the dough log for easier slicing.
