My sister shared the recipe for these thin tri-color treats several years ago, relates Jan Mallo of White Pigeon, Michigan. The crisp cookies are fun to eat - one section at a time or with all three in one bite. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
6 drops red liquid food coloring |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan with waxed paper; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
2. Divide the dough into thirds. Add almond extract and food coloring to one portion; spread evenly into prepared pan.
3. Add nuts to second portion; spread evenly over first layer.
4. Add melted chocolate to third portion; spread over second layer.
5. Cover with waxed paper; refrigerate overnight.
6. Unwrap dough; cut loaf in half lengthwise. Cut each portion into 1/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 12 dozen.
