Step-by-Step Instructions for Magical Spiral Cookies
- Cream together unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and milk, mixing until combined. Gradually incorporate flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three equal sections; color one with purple gel, another with black gel, and leave one plain.
- Roll the black dough into a rectangle measuring 6x12 inches. Repeat with white dough. Layer the white dough over the black dough, then do the same with the purple layer. Sprinkle purple sprinkles before rolling into a log.
- Position the purple log at one end and roll tightly to create a spiral log. Ensure the log is firm for even baking.
- Roll the log in black or chocolate sprinkles, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice the log into ¼-inch rounds, spacing them 2 inches apart. Sprinkle more purple sprinkles on top before baking for about 10 minutes.
- Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Refrigerating the dough helps maintain the swirls during slicing. Use gel food coloring for vibrant hues without adding moisture.
