These look like something I'd like to try. After reading the instructions, #2 should state to add the cranberries, pecans and food coloring into the OTHER half and then divide that in half, just to be specific in case somebody doesn't understand it.
They were pretty but mine lacked flavor. Maybe will try orange flavoring.
Delicious, easy to make cookies. Nice for Christmas.
I baked these cookies yesterday and I love them. They are not too sweet and the layers are different. I will make these again.
very good. I confess I was a bit lazy, and made them into logs which gave a swirled effect when sliced-but the squares in the picture are what caught my eye. I made 450 cookies for a tea-and the logs were a time saver for me. Crisp, light and so pretty

love this recipe. Made it for the first time last year. When I sliced the cookies I used a tomato slicer. Held the dough while I sliced.
This was my favorite new holiday recipe.They also looked just like the picture. Yum!
So tasty and easy to make. These are a do over
Subbing the orange for lemon is also very tasty!
