Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide dough in half. Tint one half orange and the other half black with gel food coloring, kneading until colors are uniform.
- Pinch off small pieces of each colored dough and gently roll together to create a marbled effect. Form into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
