Ingredients




2 cups cake flour,
3/4 cup sugar,
2 ½ sticks unsalted butter,
½ teaspoon baking powder,
pinch of salt,
1 tbs vanilla extract,
turquoise food coloring

Preparation

1 Combine the sugar with diced butter. 2 In separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt 3 Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. 4 Add the vanilla and process until the mixture just forms a ball. 5 Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. 6 Add the food coloring to one portion and process until just incorporated. If the batter is too sticky you can add more flour. 7 Roll out each portion of dough. You need 2 rectangles (  1/8 – 1/4  inch thick). 8 Place the turquoise dough on top of the natural one. 9 Beginning on one edge, roll the doughs to make a log so the two colors spiral inside each other. 10 Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to slice. 11 Preheat oven to 325°F . 12 Slice the log into 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick cookies, and place on prepared baking sheets. 13 Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. 14 Remove from oven, and cool on racks.
