Ingredients
– 250 g unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 150 ml almond paste
– Red food coloring
– Green food coloring
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet mixture.
4. Divide the dough into three equal parts. Add the almond paste to one part and mix. Tint one part red and the other green using the food coloring.
5. Spread each colored dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden. Let cool, then layer and cut into squares.
