Despite the fact that it turned out no one cared to get Free Skittles Sugar Cookies, I wanted to take a sweet moment to share the details that were used to make and bake these yummy looking (and tasting) cookies.
Ingredients Used
2/3 cup and 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup clarified butter
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sliced Up Strawberries
Purple And Red Skittles
Blueberries
Stirring, Shaping And Baking
After you got the ingredients (minus the Skittles, strawberry slices and blueberries) all stirred and mixed up, you then want to hand-form the cookies into your preferred sizes/shapes. Next, it is time to treat each individual cookie with a little strawberry, blueberry and Skittles loving. To do so, I (highly) recommend slicing a thin layer off of the top of each cookie then add preferred amount of strawberry slices, blueberries and Skittles (for these, I added enough strawberry pieces to cover the middle then added 4 Skittles, one on each corner, and then 2 blueberries as well). Then, place the thin layered tops back on and gently press down so as to seal the lid. Now that you’ve got your cookies stuffed with strawberry, blueberry and Skittles love, toss them on a (clarified butter greased) baking sheet and set in oven for approximately 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees (once you see the cookie edges slightly browning, it is time to take them out, sprinkle some white sugar atop and let them cool down prior to snacking them down).
UPDATE: The Skittles Cookie Recipe has been officially published (since this post was originally written).
With the recent rainbow blast of Skittles Social Media, I thought it may be fun for us to conduct a snacks taste test so I baked some Scotty Snacks Strawberry And Blueberry Sugar Cookies and some Scotty Snacks Strawberry & Blueberry Sugar Cookies With Skittles (just purple and red skittles so as to keep the colors matching and, also, to hopefully use the 2 most popular/preferred Skittles flavors – correct me if I am wrong and I will make you some with what whatever color Skittles your prefer). Who would have known Sunday, March 1, 2009 would be the day when candy flavored Skittles.com sparked a social media experiment like none other?
So, here goes Scotty Snacks Skittles Sugar Cookie Snacking Test. I will send out 2 of each cookie to each person who participates before 12AM PST March 3, 2009. To participate is super simple! Either…

If I hadn’t given up candy (and ice cream and chocolate snacks) for Lent, I’d totally walk across the street to Raplh’s and scoop some skittles for this batch! Sure, with Skittles Simultaneously Serving Social Media Snacks at Skittles.com it’s kind of hard not to crave those sweet, fulfilling candy snacks but, at least we still get to taste the rainbow colors of red and purple-y-blue with these strawberry and blueberry sugar cookie snacks. Now, this here snack sack is about to get baked in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes (on 350 degrees). Stay tuned for the full scoop regarding the preparation and, most importantly, consumption of these stylish snacks.
What colors of the rainbow you snacking?
