Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts. Keep one portion uncolored, then add red to one part and green to the other, mixing until the colors are well blended.
- Roll each colored dough portion between sheets of parchment paper into rectangles about 1/4 inch thick.
- Layer the dough rectangles on top of each other in the order of red, white, green. Roll them tightly into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
- Once chilled, slice the log into cookies about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
