Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cream the butter and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy and light in color, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs and milk, mixing until combined. Gradually incorporate flour, salt, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three portions; keep one plain, color the second half purple, and divide the last portion into two: one to remain white, the other to be colored black. Knead each section until the colors are vibrant.
- Roll the black and white dough into 6x12 inch rectangles. Stack the white layer on top of the black layer and roll tightly from one end to create a log.
- Roll out the purple dough into a rectangle matching the size of the black-and-white layers. Sprinkle with purple sprinkles and roll tightly to form a log.
- Position the purple log at one end of your black-and-white layers and roll tightly to encase the purple center, forming a single large spiral.
- Wrap the cookie log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Once chilled, roll the log in black or chocolate sprinkles for a crunchy texture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the chilled log into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure to chill the dough before slicing for sharp cuts. Use gel food coloring for vibrant swirls without altering dough texture.
