How to Make Neapolitan Cookies
You can make a variety of shapes, colors, and flavors with this basic recipe--from shamrocks to Christmas cookies. In the accompanying pictures, we made tri-colored cookies with chocolate, almond, and cherry doughs.
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (optional)
flavors and extracts (your choice)
food colors (your choice)
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients in two parts, mixing after each. Mix just until combined.
3. Divide the dough into two, three, or four parts depending on how many different doughs you choose to make.
For the chocolate dough:
For one half of the dough, melt two ounces of chocolate. For one fourth of the dough, melt one ounce of chocolate. While still warm, work the chocolate into the dough until uniform.
For flavored and colored doughs:
Add four or five drops of food coloring in each one fourth or one third part. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon almond, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint, 1 teaspoon cherry, 1 teaspoon strawberry, or other extracts to the dough and mix in.
4. Form the dough into cylinders, squares, or layers—a separate color or flavor for each. Refrigerate until firm.
5. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch thick slices. To form the cloverleaf shape shown, cut each colored cylinder separately but gently press the different colored discs together on the cookie sheet. Bake on ungreased cookies sheets at 350 degrees for ten to twelve minutes or until the cookies are nearly firmed and very lightly browned. Do not over bake. Cool on wire racks.
