- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg

Preparation
Step 1
*In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
*Divide dough into three portions; tint each a different color. Roll each portion of dough on waxed paper into a 9-in. x 5-in. rectangle. Freeze for 10 minutes.
*Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise. Lightly brush top of one rectangle with milk. Top with another colored dough. Remove waxed paper; brush top with milk. Repeat with remaining dough, alternating colors to make six layers.
*Press together lightly; cut in half lengthwise. Wrap each with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
*Unwrap dough; cut into 1/8-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
*Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: about 4 dozen.
