Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs and milk, mixing until well combined. Gradually incorporate flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract to form a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts. Color one part with black gel food coloring, another with purple gel food coloring, and leave the last part white.
- Roll out the black dough into a 6 by 12 inch rectangle, then roll out the white dough to the same size. Stack the black dough on the white and gently roll them together.
- Roll out the purple dough into a smaller rectangle and sprinkle with purple sprinkles. Roll it tightly into a log to create the vibrant center.
- Place the purple log at the edge of the stacked layers and roll tightly, ensuring the purple center is wrapped within the black-and-white dough.
- Roll the cookie log in sprinkles, covering the surface. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unwrap the chilled log and slice into ¼-inch rounds. Bake on parchment-lined sheet for about 10 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for clean slices and maintaining the spiral design. Use gel food coloring for the best results.
