Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Divide one half Basic Dough into 3 parts. To first part, mix in 1 envelope (1 ounce) premelted chocolate. To second part, mix in 1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts or walnuts and few drops green food color. To third part, mix in 1 teaspoon rum flavoring and few drops red food color. Shape each part into rectangle, 8x3 inches. Layer rectangles, placing green dough in center. Press together. Wrap; chill at least 2 hours. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut dough crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Bake on ungreased baking sheet 5 to 7 minutes or until no imprint remains when lightly touched with finger.
  2. Makes about 4 dozen.
