Learn How it Works...
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries, well-drained
2 to 3 drops red food color
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachio nuts
2 to 3 drops green food color
Ice cream, if desired
Chopped pistachio nuts, if desired
Maraschino cherries, if desired
STEP 1
Combine butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed.
STEP 2
Divide dough into thirds. Add chopped cherries and desired amount red food color to one-third; mix well by hand. Add pistachios and desired amount green food color to second third of dough; mix well by hand.
STEP 3
Shape each third of dough between two sheets of lightly floured waxed paper into 7x6-inch rectangle. Layer pink, white and green dough on large sheet of plastic food wrap; press down gently. Wrap securely in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight).
STEP 4
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 5
Cut rectangle lengthwise into three pieces with sharp knife. Cut each piece crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool completely.
STEP 6
Serve cookies with ice cream, chopped pistachios and maraschino cherries, if desired.
