In a large bowl combine cookie mix, butter, egg, and flour.

Stir until a dough forms. It may appear dry at first but after 30 seconds it should come together.

Divide dough into five equal pieces and place into individual bowls.

Use a spoon or your finger to make a small indentation on top of each piece.

Add food coloring, about 10 drops each, into the indentation of each dough. Use a different color for each bowl.

Thoroughly stir coloring into the dough until it becomes a solid color.

Wrap bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Remove from fridge and roll small 1/2 tsp size balls of dough from each bowl.

Position all 5 colored balls together {see pictures below} and squeeze together.

Roll the dough into a rope about 8-10 inches long.

Coil the rope into a spiral shape, slightly twisting as you wind it around the center.

Repeat steps for the remaining dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place cookies 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet.

While the first batch bakes, place the remaining cookie dough in the fridge so it does not become too soft.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Cool slightly then remove from cooking sheet to cool completely.
