How to Make Rainbow Cookie Sandwiches
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend the softened unsalted butter and confectioner's sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of kosher salt to the creamed mixture. Stir well until everything is combined.
  3. Gently divide the dough into portions and mix in the gel food coloring until vibrant hues are achieved.
  4. Wrap each colored dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Roll out each colored dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Use cookie cutters to create shapes, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
  8. Spread your favorite filling on the bottom side of one cookie and top it with another cookie.
