These are the cutest cookies! And they smell and taste just like neapolitan ice cream. For the pink layer I used 1.5 tsp strawberry extract and left out the almond, for the chocolate layer I used 2 oz dark chocolate, and for the vanilla layer I omitted the nuts. I chilled the dough for only two hours, and cut it lengthwise into thirds. 12 minutes in my oven was too long - about 8 or 9 minutes and they were perfect.

This was a super easy recipe! Used plastic wrap instead of waxed paper. Only had to refrigerate for two hours and came out of the pan beautifully. I had to grease the baking sheets as they were a bit difficult without greasing them. I also sprinkled with white sugar crystals. This gave it the extra "kick" it needed. Perfect recipe. Thanks!!

I made these cookies solely for looks, but was pleasantly surprised by their flavor. I added 12 chopped maraschino cherries and 2 teaspoons of the juice to the pink portion, an additional 1.5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate to the brown portion, and an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract to the white portion. My favorite thing about this dough is that it freezes exceptionally well when wrapped in plastic and stored in a ziplock freezer bag.

I cut up marischino cherries and added the pieces plus red food coloring to one ball of dough, melted chocolate to another ball of dough, and almond extract to the remaining (white) dough. Cookies were easy to make. I learned to take them out of the oven sooner though, they were ready in a very short time.

It was very difficult to cut these evenly. So some came out very thin and hard and others came out thicker and very nice. The flavor was good but just very difficult to get a consistent thickness/quality and not worth the time/trouble.

This cookie is fabulous!! Yes, there are extra dishes, but the cookies are worth it. The first time I made these, I could not taste the chocolate at all, but the second time, I used chocolate bark (we didn't have any baking chocolate and I was too lazy to go buy some). I think they taste so much better with the sweetened chocolate, but I do enjoy slightly sweeter cookies and I did cut back on the added sugar by a few teaspoons. What I got was an amazing chocolate-almond flavor with a great texture. Great, great recipe!!

Made the following substitutions for Christmas: no chocolate layer, instead add chopped red candied cherries to one layer with red food coloring, and green candied cherries to another layer with green food coloring. For the white layer I used chopped blanched almonds, instead of walnuts, and the almond extract. Made a batch as soon as they were frozen and then another two weeks later - the flavor really intensified over time and the texture was better too!

Easy, pretty and tasty can't ask for much more than that.

YUM! This is a family favorite. For the first time this Christmas I made them with a green colored dough in place of the chocolate - very festive for holiday cookie platters. Used strawberry extract with the red dough and put the almond extract in the green - delicious.

I will definitely do it again!

These cookies were great - just like the ones my Grandma used to make for Christmas. I added chopped marchino cherries to the 'red' and a little cocoa to the chocolate to get more chocolate flavor.

LOVED them! Didnt have time to keep in fridge for 4 hrs, but 2 seemed to be enough. Still came out perfect!

a wonderfully tasting and fun to make recipe

Fabulous cookies!!! They have wonderful texture and a really delicious flavor. And they weren't hard to make at all. A few extra dishes don't matter. I left mine in the fridge overnight, too, and they were a bit hard to get out of the pan. But I ran a bit of warm water over the bottom of the pan, and they popped right out. Very impressive cookie. I will make these many times. Yummy.

Wow! I love these cookies! The only thing I don't love are all the dirty dishes...

These look super cute, and are pretty easy to make. Everyone was quite impressed with them. THe only problem I had was getting the dough out of the pan, so I could cut it. But that could be because I let it chill overnight in the fridge, instead of 4 hours. I would definitely not do that next time. I also left out the chopped nuts. I will be making this recipe again.

Very good, and great presentation. Instead of a pink layer, I used green food coloring and added drained chopped marischino cherries to that green layer.
