Ribbon Cookies
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Flour
- 2 Sticks Melted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Red & Green Food Coloring
- Seedless Raspberry or Apricot Jam
- 6 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon Oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine first 5 ingredients. This will make a loose batter. Divide into 3 equal parts. Add 8 drops of red food coloring to one part, 8 drops of green to a second part and leave the third part uncolored.
- Place each part into a seperate, very lightly greased 11 1/4 by 7 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch pan. (I use foil pans found in the grocery store). Bake each part 8-12 minutes until spongy, but not wet. Do not let dry out or brown. Cool.
- Place red layer on wax paper or parchment paper. Spread a light layer of jam over cake. add yellow layer of cakeon top and spread with a light layer of jam. Top with green layer.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Melt chips with oil on a low setting in microwave. Stir to blend. Spread 1/2 of mixture onto cake. Refrigerate intil firm. Flip cake and spread remaining chocolate on the other side. Refrigerate until firm.
- When the chocolate has hardened, use a sharp, unserrated knife to trim the edges. Cut the cake into 1 inch squares.
