2. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Divide the dough into smaller portions and tint each portion with different food coloring gel.
6. Roll out each portion of colored dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
