These were very tasty. I found that I used a lot of bowls mixing the different colours. It was worth it though to bake a tasty and original cookie. Next time I will add a little more food colouring as the strips were a tad bit to pale for me. Thanks so much for sharing. Sent for the Holiday Cookie Exchange 2009
