Spatter Paint Sugar Cookies

Spatter Paint Sugar Cookies recipe
Photographs by Josephine Schiele. Food styling by Rebecca Jurkevich.

There’s no waiting around for butter to soften here—like pie crust, this cookie dough starts with cold butter. It also comes together entirely in a food processor, containing the mess (and making these kid-friendly—we bet yours will be interested in pressing PULSE). Use gel food dye here if you can find it—it achieves the most vibrant color with just a drop or two.
