ROLL about a third of each color dough into I0-inch ropes on a lightly floured surface. Twist ropes together; fold in crosswise and flatten slightly. Roll 1/8 inch thick (keep remaining dough refrigerated). Cut with leaf-shape cookie cutters . Place cutouts 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Score veins with a table knife or skewer. Gently gather and reroll scraps. Repeat with remaining dough. 4. BAKE in a 375 degree oven 7 to 9 minutes or till edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks. NOTES : Be sure to use paste food coloring. Liquid coloring softens the dough so it”s hard to handle and cutouts lose there shape.
