Ingredients

• 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 ¾ 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.

Note: Stack dough so that the orange rectangle is on the bottom and the uncolored roll of dough is on top.
