Ingredients

    *Unsalted Tillamook Butter, 24 tbsp(remove)
    Granulated Sugar, 2 cup(remove)
    *Egg land's Organic Eggs, 2 serving(remove)
    Egg Yolk, 2 large(remove)
    *McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract, 4 tsp(remove)
    *Almond Extract, 2 tsp(remove)
    *Organic All-Purpose White Flour, 4 cup(remove)
    Salt, 1 tsp(remove)
    Baking Powder, 1 tsp(remove)

Directions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat well, for about 2 minutes. Add the whole eggs and 2 yolks, continuing to mix until combined. Stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture about 1 cup at a time, to incorporate each cup. Do not over mix.

Divide the dough into six equal portions. Using gel food coloring, color each layer a color of the rainbow.

Place dough in individual ziplock bags and refrigerate until firm, about an hour or two. One at a time, roll colors into approximately 6x9 inch rectangles. Refrigerate each layer after rolling, and then add subsequent layers on top in rainbow color order.

When all layers have been stacked, trim edges for a neat rectangle. Wrap again in saran wrap and freeze until very firm. Slice strips across the 6 inch side about 1/4 inch thick and cut each strip in half. Place cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze again (this helps minimize spreading).

When you are ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out, cut out cookies, and bake for 6-10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Cool the cookie sheet in between baking each batch.
