Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take small portions of each colored dough and gently roll them together to create a marbled effect

Shape the marbled dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand

Sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles on top of each cookie for a magical touch

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
