I wanted to make pretty looking cookies that can be made for Valentine's Day, White Day, Hinamatsuri Girls' Day, Children's Day, Christmas, Halloween, or birthdays.

When you start to roll the dough, press down hard and you will not have a hollow gap in the center. If you have small gaps, don't worry. The cookie dough will melt in the oven and fill up the hollow parts.
Change the colour of dough and the wrappings to give these cookies for any occasion. For 2 baking trays. Recipe by Mimikku

Steps

1

Leave the margarine at room temperature. Whisk well and stir in sugar. Whisk well again.
2

Divide the egg into 2 portions and add one portion at a time. Whisk constantly.
3

When the egg is whisked, this is what the mixture looks like. It is quite fluffy.
4

Shift in one of the ①〜④ ingredients to the mixture depending on what flavor you would like to make. In this photo, I added just plain flour (①).
5

Stir the mixture using a cutting motion and do not overmix. Briskly knead the dough until combined like in the photo.
6

Put the dough into a plastic bag and roll out to 4 mm thick. Leave to rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.
7

Cut the centre of the bag and open the flap. Cut the dough in half.
8

Stack 2 layers of dough with different colours. Starting rolling the dough from whichever side you like, depending how large you want your cookies to be.
9

If you start to roll the dough together on the rectangle's length, the result will look like the cookie on the left. If you roll on the width, the result will look like the right cookie.
10

Roll up the dough and wrap tightly with a plastic bag and twist both sides of the bag. Put in the freezer to set it enough to slice with ease.
11

Slice the rolled dough to 5-6 mm thick. Bake at 320F/160C for 20 minutes.
12

After baking, stick with toothpicks while the dough is still soft. It will be easier while the dough is still soft. When it's cooled, it becomes brittle.
13

Put in individual bags and tie with a plastic ribbon or decorative twist ties.
