Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

3️⃣ Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4️⃣ Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

5️⃣ Combine Wet and Dry:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.

6️⃣ Divide and Color Dough:
Split the dough into two equal portions. Add red food coloring to one and green to the other. Knead gently until the color is evenly distributed.

7️⃣ Shape the Cookies:
Scoop small portions of dough from each color, combine them slightly, and roll into balls for a marbled effect. Flatten lightly on the baking sheet.

8️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
