Cream butter and sugar together, Add egg and extract and mix until well combined. Stir in flour, mixing until fully incorporated. Divide dough in half.

Cover cutting board with plastic wrap and press out half of dough into an 8-inch square. Sprinkle sugars onto the dough in alternating patches of blue and red. Use the plastic wrap to lift and roll the dough into a log. Repeat with second half and refrigerate dough logs for 1 to 2 hours until firm.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
