Halloween Bites #4: Candy Corn Cookies

This buttery sweet treat can been made ahead of time by shaping and chilling the dough.
And, I didn't even know it is National Candy Corn Day!!!!!
(makes about 5 doz.)

1&1/2 cups Kerrygold* butter, softened
1&1/2 cups sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. sea* salt
Yellow and orange paste food coloring

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Divide the dough in half. Tint one portion yellow. Divide remaining dough into 2/3 and 1/3 portions. Color the large portion orange; leave the smaller portion plain. Shape each portion of dough into 2 8" logs. Flatten top and push sides in at a slight angle. Place orange logs on yellow logs; push plain logs to form a slightly rounded top. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350. Unwrap and cut dough into 14" slices. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. bake until set, 10-12 min. Remove to wire racks to cool.
