Time 1h30m

Yield Approximately 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups unsalted butter (1 pound)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups unbleached allpurpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Add flour and salt and blend well. Divide dough in half. Add cocoa to 1/2 of dough. Let rest. Roll 1/4 inch cylinders of chocolate and plain vanilla dough about 12 inches long. Arrange in checkerboard by alternating 6 cylinders of chocolate and vanilla dough, contrasting each time to six layers total. Press tightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a sharp knife, slice the dough into rounds about 1/3-inch thick. Place 1 inch apart on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to add extra flour to make it easier to work with.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

Followed the recipe to a T and the cookies turned out perfect! I was worried about the different doughs mixing together, but they stayed separate beautifully. The vanilla and chocolate flavors complemented each other perfectly. Will definitely make t
