ITALIAN WEDDING COOKIES III
Also sometimes called 'Mexican wedding cookie', 'Russian tea cakes', or 'butterballs', can also be made into crescents. You can also substitute pecans and they are very good as well. This is the best version of these I have ever seen, it was given me by a friend who grew up in central Europe.

ITALIAN TRI-COLOR COOKIES (RAINBOW COOKIES)
When I lived in New York, I used to get this delicious tri-color cookie from the Italian Bakery every year for the holidays. Once I moved down south, I was no longer able to get them. I found this recipe in Good Housekeepings "100 best Italian Recipes". The directions seem long and scary, but these cookies are actually very easy to make. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and friends do.

Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease 3 8"x8" metal baking pans. After greasing, line the bottoms of the pans with wax paper, smoothing the paper down onto the pan. Grease the tops of the wax paper and then flour the pans. Put aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, Beat together on medium-high speed the Almond Paste, Sugar, Almond Extract and butter until well blended. (there might be some small lumps of Almond Paste remaining and that's fine.).
- Reduce speed to medium and beat in the eggs one at a time until blended.
- Reduce speed to low and then add the flour and salt slowly to the mixture until combined.
- Take two small bowls and add 1 rounded cup of batter into each bowl. (there should be another rounded cup of batter still in the original mixing bowl.).
- Add 15 drops of red food color to one bowl and 15 drops of green food color to the other. Stir each bowl until evenly blended with color.
- Spoon the untinted batter into one pan. With metal spatula spread batter evenly (layer will be about 1/4 inch thick). Repear with red batter in second pan and green batter in remaining pan.
- Bake until set and toothpick inserted in center of layers comes out clean. 10-12 minutes.
- Cool in pans on wire rack about 1/2 hour. Cake should be cool to the touch.
- Run tip of knife around side of pans to loosen layers.
- Lay a piece of wax paper on a flat surface that will be able to fit in refrigerator.
- Take the green layer and flip over pan onto wax paper. Gently pull off the wax paper. Spread 1/3 cup of apricot preserves onto the green layer.
- Take the untinted layer and remove from pan. Place it onto the green layer with the wax paper side up. Press down gently and then remove the wax paper.
- Spread remaining 1/3 cup of Apricot preserves onto the untinted layer.
- take the remaining red layer and remove from pan and place upon the white layer again with the wax paper side up. Press down gently and remove the wax paper.
- In a 1 quart saucepan, heat chocolate and butter flavored crisco over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted.
- Spread melted chocolate mixture on top of the red layer evenly. Do not put mixture on sides.
- refrigerate until chocolate is firm, at least 1 hour. (at this point, if you want, you can cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days before serving).
- To serve, with a large sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch from the edges. Cut the stacked layers into 6 strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces. You will get 36 square cookies from this.
- Place the cookies in a single layer in a waxed paper lined container. They can be refrigerated for up to one week or freeze up to 3 months. These cookies must be kept in the fridge.

ITALIAN SEVEN LAYER COOKIES (TRICOLORES)
These cookies take A LOT of work, but the recipe is simple. It is a matter of assembling and patience. These are just like the cookies(aka rainbow cookies, italian ribbon cookies) you get at NYC bakeries. Your patience and time will be well rewarded. The list of ingredints is for EACH layer. You have to prepare each layer seperately so they bake even. Bon appetit! USE 11x17 PANS TO ASSURE SUCCESSFUL BAKING! The 1st person to review these used 11x7 brownie pans that were way too small. The 11x17 are perfect for these cookies. Don't use smaller pans. Enjoy!

Steps:
- You must repeat this 3 times. Once for each layer.
- Sift flour, salt and baking powder togerther and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer until the mix lightens in color and is fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat about 1 minute for each egg, add in the almond extract.
- With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined, add whichever food coloring your using as it mixes.
- Coat an 11x17 pan with non stick baking spray and pour mixture into pan. It will take some effort to spread evenly. TIP: If it does not spread evenly, spread the mixture as evenly as you can. Then put in the hot oven for about 45 seconds. Then jiggle the pan gently to get the batter even.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350 or until done.
- CAREFULLY flip the red layer onto wax paper and let cool. If you have more than one of these pans, leave the red layer in the pan and repeat the above listed steps, first with the yellow layer. While that layer is baking, carefully spread the red layer evenly with the raspberry jam. Then CAREFULLY flip the yellow layer on top of the red layer you just coated with the raspberry jam. Now for the last layer, the green one. Repeat the above listed baking steps and coat the yellow layer with the Other jar of jam. Once the green layer is done, fip on top of the yellow layer you coated with the raspberry jam. You now have 5 layers. Hard parts over -- sort of. now you must weigh down the cookies. To do this, cover the cookies with wax paper and take eithier another 11x17 pan or something of equal size like a cutting board and place on top of the cookies. You don't have to put very heavy weight on them anything handy that won't slip off. You're just trying to condense the layers a bit. Place in the fridge for 3 hours.
- Remove the cookies from the fridge and remove the weight and wax paper.
- Put the 1st bag of chocolate chips into a small sauce pan with the oil on a low light and melt until even. When done, spread unto top of cookies. Let harden at room temp, at least 3 hours. CAREFULLY flip the cookies and repeat on the other side with the other bag of chocolate chips. Let cool at room temperature.
- When the chocolate rehardens, Take a long carving knife and cut into small squares. Then put them in the fridge in an airtight container. Enjoy!
