MIX-AND-MATCH SWIRL COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Mix-And-Match Swirl Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, sugar, large egg, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, cocoa powder, strawberry jam, cream cheese, chocolate cookie wafer, cookie cream filling, rainbow sprinkles, white chocolate

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ cup strawberry jam
¼ cup cream cheese
½ cup chocolate cookie wafer
½ cup cookie cream filling
½ cup rainbow sprinkles
½ cup white chocolate, melted

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!
