Cream butter and add sugars gradually. Add egg and beat until light.

13

Add vanilla

14

Gradually add sifted flour.

15

Divide into 4 portions in separate bowls.

16

One at a time, put one bowl's dough into the mixer. Add green to one and mix until desired color is reached. Put dough back into its separate bowl and rinse coloring out of mixing bowl. Dry the mixing bowl and continue with the next. You will create in total one green, one red, one yellow and one orange as a mix with red and yellow.

17

Start with one color, grab about ¼ cup of dough and put it between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Roll until thin and wide about 14x11 and ¼” thick. Take top piece of waxed paper off to be reused and set the rolled color to the side.

18

You will repeat that with two more colors. Once you have three layers of colored dough rolled out, you will stack them. Take one color as the
base, the next color will be flipped on top and 3rd one on top of that. They should all be around the same size. If not, you can trim them and reuse that extra dough.

19

Refrigerate until firm or overnight.

20

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

21

Slice dough into 1/4" slices and put on sheet tray.

22

Bake for 15 minutes, then shut off oven, crack door and let stay in oven for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
