My sweet rectangles get their name from the old-fashioned tri-colored ice cream. Our whole family prefers them. —Mary Chupp, Chattanooga, Tennessee

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 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

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Divide dough into 3 portions. Stir chocolate into 1 portion. Add pecans and green food coloring to the second portion. Add cherries, almond extract and red food coloring to the third.
  • 2. Roll each portion between 2 pieces of waxed paper into an 8x6-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 and chill overnight.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 375°. Cut chilled dough in half lengthwise. Return 1 rectangle to the refrigerator. Cut remaining rectangle into 1/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • 4. Bake until set, 5-7 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
