Directions

  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.
  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.
  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).
  4. Heat oven to 350°F.
  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.
  6. Serve cookies with ice cream, chopped pistachios and maraschino cherries, if desired.
