Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and the salt, stirring to combine, and then add the milk and extracts. Gradually add the flour and stir until combined.

Divide the dough into two halves. Color one half with the green food coloring. Pat each half of dough into a rectangle and wrap in parchment or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough until ¼” thick. My rectangles were approximately 11” x 9”. Place the rolled out rectangles on parchment and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.

Brush the top of the plain dough with beaten egg white. Place the green dough on top and press down. Starting on a long side, roll the dough into a tight swirl. Brush the seam edge with egg white and pinch to seal. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats.

Slice the dough into ¼” slices and place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 16-18 minutes until done but not browned.
