Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Add large egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to form a slightly sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts, coloring one half with pink and the other with blue gel food coloring.
- Roll small amounts of pink and blue dough into balls and gently swirl them together before placing on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
