I’ve always thought that a ribbon cookie is especially nice. Although it’s a single cookie, it really seems like two or three different cookies because of its lovely layers of flavor. These refrigerated ribbon cookies have a rich chocolate layer balanced by a bright orange-mango layer—a very special combination. —Jeanne Holt, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened

- 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried mango
- 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios

Directions
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
- Divide dough in half. Mix melted chocolate into 1 half; stir in miniature chips. Mix mango, pistachios and orange zest into remaining dough.

- Lifting with waxed paper, remove dough from pan; fold paper over dough to wrap completely. Refrigerate dough in pan until firm, 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/2-in.-thick slices; cut each slice crosswise into thirds. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake until edges are lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
