Candy Corn Shortbread Recipe
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
Yellow food color
Red food color
Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium
speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour. Divide dough into 6 equal parts.
Combine 3 parts dough; mix with 10 drops yellow food color and 4
drops red food color to make orange dough. Combine 2 parts dough;
mix with 7 drops yellow food color to make yellow dough. Leave
remaining part dough plain.
Pat orange dough into 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, 9 × 2 inches, on
plastic wrap. Pat yellow dough into 1/2-inch-thick rectangle, 9 × 1 3/4
inches. Place yellow rectangle centered on orange rectangle. Shape
plain dough into 9-inch roll, 3/4 inch in diameter. Place roll on center
of yellow rectangle. Wrap plastic wrap around dough, pressing dough
into triangle so that dough will resemble a kernel of corn when sliced.
Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
Heat oven to 350º. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices. Place about 1 inch
apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set.
Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
Stack dough so that the orange rectangle is on the bottom and the
uncolored roll of dough is on top.
