Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar

Directions

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 the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide dough into thirds. Add almond extract and red food coloring to one portion; spread evenly into prepared pan. Add coconut to second portion; spread evenly over first layer. Add chocolate syrup to third portion; spread over second layer. Cover with foil; freeze for 4 hours or overnight.

My family really likes these cookies for Christmas. I used green food coloring to color the coconut and let it dry for a bit before mixing it in with the plain dough to make the cookie even more "Christmas-y".
