Chocolate & Vanilla Spiral Cookies

Vanilla dough

1 c. butter

1 c. sugar

1.5 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

2.5 c. all purpose flour

Chocolate Dough

1 recipe Vanilla Dough

3 oz melted, unsweetened chocolate

½ tsp. vanilla

dash of cinnamon

First, we make the vanilla dough. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside. Cream the butter until soft, then add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined. Beat in flour mixture.

Divide the dough in half. To one half, add the chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. Shape both vanilla and chocolate dough into balls, wrap, then wrap and refrigerate them for atleast15 minutes.

Roll out both sections of dough to about ¼” thickness, using flour and a little powdered sugar. Brush the top of the chocolate dough with cold water, then transfer the vanilla dough to lay over it. Brush the top of the stacked dough with cold water, and trim so that they form an even, double-layered rectangle. Roll up slowly to form a log, then wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Once the dough is chilled, slice the dough into ½” cookies, and bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. And voila! A swirly snack!
