Mix butter until creamed.

Add sugar until fully mixed, followed by egg, baking powder and vanilla extract.

Mix until all ingredients are combined and have a creamy texture.

Slowly add flour, 1 cup at a time until dough is no longer “sticky.”

Separate dough into three equal parts, coloring one with yellow food coloring, and another with orange food coloring (leaving the third part uncolored).
