Directions: |
Directions:In a separate bowl beat eggwhites till soft peaks form and fold gently into flour/almond mix
Remove 1½ cups of batter and add red food coloring,,,do the same for green
should have 1½ cups of white batter left.
I use specific pans that I purchased 3 pans just for these cookies ..got a Wm Sonoma…they measure 9 x13 and they are approx 1 inch high..you can use a 1/4 cookie sheet pan also…
Spread batter in prepared pans and bake approx 10-12 min….do not overcook…edges should be just turning golden…remove and completely cool each pan.
Put sheet of parchment or foil on table and remove green layer and place on parchment and spread with raspberry preserves, top with white layer and top that with apricot preserves. then top with red layer.
pick up parchment and place these three layers back into baking pan..which has been clean..make sure you leave enough parchment to overhang so you can easily remove after.
Cover top red layer with a sheet of parchment or wax paper and either use a thin cutting board or one of those flex type ones on top of the wax paper/parchment and put something slightly weighted on top to weigh down and compress the layers…and then put in fridge overnight.
the next day remove..cute edges to square off and give nice even layers..melt chocolate and spread on top and let harden..when chocolate is hard….cut into rectangles….(if while cutting through chocolate..and its too hard..dip knife in hot water and then cut..wipe off any water before cutting,this will help knife cut through chocolate enabling you to have nice clean cutting lines) |
