How do you make Marbled Cookies?
This cookie recipe makes the most delicious cookies. It is super easy and simple to make and tastes soooo good. Just look at these ones from A Baking Journey. Deliciously buttery, soft and tender, these biscuits almost remind me of melting moments… Yes please!
This recipe uses two different flavoured cookie dough that you combine and bake into these tasty cookies.
- Vanilla shortbread cookie dough
- Chocolate shortbread cookie dough
The best thing about these cookies is that it’s a simple one bowl buttery vanilla shortbread recipe.
First off, combine all the ingredients (except the cocoa powder) in one bowl. Next, simply divide the dough and add cocoa powder to create the chocolate version. Lastly, remember to chill in the fridge before you roll and bake to firm up. As we are using quite a lot of butter in this versatile vanilla shortbread dough, chilling is essential.
Finally, once the cookie dough has had time to rest, simply roll the two flavours each into two logs and layer them to create a bigger “log” or roll. To finish off, roll the log in some granulated white sugar and slice the cookie log into 5mm thick cookies. Bake, cool and enjoy.
