Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Green and red food coloring
Instructions:
Step 1: Cream the butter and sugar
Start by creaming together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. This means to beat them together until they are well combined and fluffy.
Step 2: Add the egg and vanilla
Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Combine the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Then, slowly add it to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 4: Divide and color the dough
Divide the dough into three equal parts. Color one part with green food coloring and another with red food coloring. Leave the third part uncolored.
Step 5: Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each colored dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 6: Assemble the cookies
Place the green dough on top of the white dough, and then place the red dough on top of the green dough. Roll the stacked dough into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 7: Slice and bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough log into 1/4 inch thick slices and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 8: Let cool and enjoy!
Once done, let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. These Italian flag cookies make for a beautiful and tasty treat that everyone will love.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can create these stunning Italian flag cookies that are perfect for any occasion. So why not add a touch of Italy to your baking with this delicious and festive recipe? Buon appetito!
