speed of an electric mixer. Add egg yolks, soda, cream of tartar, and
vanilla, beating well. Gradually add flour, mixing well.Divide dough into 4
equal portions. Color one portion red, one yellow, one green, and leave
remaining dough plain. Wrap each separately in plastic wrap, and chill at
least 1 hour.Hand shape cookies into desired designs, or roll dough to
1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut with 2-1/2-inch
cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8
to 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheets 1 to 2 minutes; remove to wire
racks and cool completely. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen.NOTE: You might label
our Edible Craft Dough Cookies For Kids Only--the dough looks and shapes
remarkably like the colored craft dough that children often play with, but
it's totally edible. Children can hand shape the dough much like they do
craft dough, or they can roll and cut it with cookie cutters.
