In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Form the dough
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Divide and color the dough
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Add red, yellow, green, and purple food coloring to each portion and knead until colors are uniform.
Shape into button cookies
Roll each colored portion into small balls, then flatten slightly and press a small indentation in the center to create button shape.
Chill the cookies
Place shaped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to prevent spreading.
