Step 2

Remove 1/3 of dough; reserve. To remaining 2/3 dough in mixer bowl, beat in red icing color. Roll and shape dough between parchment paper into two 6 x 8 in. disks. Roll and shape untinted dough between parchment paper to a 6 x 8 in. disk. Chill all dough rectangles at least 1 hour.

Stack dough rectangles with untinted dough rectangle between the two red pieces,lining them up as evenly as possible; gently press pieces together. Gently roll with rolling pin to seal layers; trim uneven edges with sharp knife. Cut dough lengthwise into three 2 in. wide slices; cut each column crosswise into 1/4 in. thick pieces. Arrange 2 in. apart on parchment-lined cookie pans. Chill 1/2 hour.
