Chocolate Vanilla Butter Swirl Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Steps:

Step 1: Prepare Cookie Dough In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined.

Step 2: Divide the Dough Split the dough into two equal portions. Leave one portion as is for the vanilla dough.

Step 3: Add Cocoa Powder To the second portion, add cocoa powder and mix until the chocolate dough is evenly colored.

Step 4: Create Swirl Patterns Take a small amount of vanilla and chocolate dough. Roll them into thin ropes and twist them together to form a swirl pattern. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 5: Chill the Dough Wrap the combined dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm it up.

Step 6: Preheat and Bake Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the chilled dough into rounds and place them on the baking sheet.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 8: Enjoy! Once cooled, savor the delectable Chocolate Vanilla Butter Swirl Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.

These cookies are a delightful fusion of flavors and artistry, making them a standout treat for any occasion.
