here's the original Recipe

1 cup rice flour all purpose flour (i dont know whats rice flour)
1 tsp yam essence
1/2 tsp food colouring

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in vanilla and flours.

Divide into two equal parts. Then one of the part, divide half

Add yam extract and food colouring to one. Mix well, until dough turns to the desired colour.

On a sheet of wax paper, roll out coloured portion to 12 × 14 inches (30 × 35 cm). Repeat with white dough.

Invert white layer over the colour layer. Remove top layer of wax paper.

Roll from short end with edges remaining even. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.

Slice 1/3-inch (8 mm) thick and place 2 inches (5 cm) apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 15-17 minutes. Cool on rack.
