My sweet rectangles get their name from the old-fashioned tri-colored ice cream. Our whole family prefers them.

Prep: 40 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch

Yield: 42 Servings

40 10 50

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 to 5 drops green food coloring
1/4 cup finely chopped candied red cherries
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 to 5 drops red food coloring

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Divide dough in three portions. Stir chocolate into one portion. Add pecans and green food coloring to the second portion. Add cherries, almond extract and red food coloring to the third.
Roll each portion between two pieces of waxed paper into an 8-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Remove waxed paper. Place chocolate rectangle on a piece of plastic wrap. Top with the green and pink rectangles; press together lightly. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
Cut chilled dough in half lengthwise. Return one rectangle to the refrigerator. Cut remaining rectangle into 1/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 5-7 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough. Yield: about 7 dozen.

Make these every Christmas! I love the taste and softness of them; makes a large quantity; good to make if you give goodies to friends or neighbors.

Last year I made the chocolate coconut neapolitans, thought I would try this one because the presentation is similar. Loved the spumoni slices way better! I did put the layers in a bread pan to chill overnight. I put plastic wrap in the bread pan and topped with each layer. These cookies have a very nice flavor and look beautiful on your Christmas platter.
