Steps:
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until the dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed.
- Split the base dough in half, add your desired mix-ins, and incorporate them fully.
- We used chocolate hazelnut spread and cocoa powder for one half and peanut butter for the other.
- Roll out each dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Chill both doughs for 30 minutes.
- Place one half of flavored dough on top of the other and start to roll up the doughs into a swirl. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until solid, about 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, unwrap the dough, slice into ½-inch (1 cm) thick coins, and place them on the baking sheet at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Try additional combinations.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies. This will help you get clean, even slices.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Chocolate spiral cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite colors and flavors. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
