1c butter

1c sugar ( i reduced the sugar to half)

21/2c flour

1/4tsp salt

1tbs vanilla essence

1tsp baking powder

2. in a separate bowl sift flour,baking powder and salt
3. add vanilla essence and egg in the butter mixture
4. then slowly add in the flour mixture into the butter mixture. mix until well incorporated.
5. divide the dough into 3 parts.then add in cocoa powder in the 1st dough, then the pink and let the last part of the dough be natural (you should have 3 colors now – neopolitan colors )
6. lined the baking pan with a cling wrap, making sure that the plastic wrap is hanging over the pan. (i use bread loaf pan for this)
7. then stack the mixture one by one. when done refrigerate it until firm or you can be lazy like me, just dump it in a freezer.
8. when the dough is harden cut it into your desired thickness. then lined them and give them some space coz these cookies does spread like crazy! bake in a 160c for 15mins
