'Rainbow' cookies?!

Question: When I was a child my mother used to make me "Rainbow" cookies. I vaguely remember the dough being sort of like a sugar cookie dough, she put it in the fridge or freezer before baking, colored sections of it, then put them all together in a sort of log, that when it was sliced, looked like a rainbow. My mother passed away 10 years ago and my dad does not remember these cookies. Does anyone have a recipe for anything like this?

Roll each color of dough into a strip about 4" wide and 1/4" thick. Stock the strip of dough together. Wrap the dough in wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Slice the layer dough in 1/4" slices, gently curve the slice to make a rainbow arch. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in 375 degree oven for about 7 minutes. Yield: 3 dozen cookies.

You can use any sugar cookie recipe you like. Simply divide the dough into equal parts, add food coloring as you like, then roll it together into a log about 3 inches wide. Wrap it in wax paper and refrigerate for 2 - 3 hours.

Then, slice the log into 1'4" pieces and bake as directed in the recipe.
