Chocolate-vanilla shortbread cookies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients for white vanilla dough.

2. STEP 2

   

   Knead the butter, softened in advance at room temperature.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add powdered sugar and mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the egg and mix well. Add slaked soda.

5. STEP 5

   

   Sift the flour, mix with vanilla and add it in parts to the butter mixture. Don't rush to pour out all the flour at once.

6. STEP 6

   

   The dough should be soft, elastic, and should not stick to your hands. It is possible that a little flour may remain, it depends on its quality. I have about 2 tables left. spoons.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the vanilla dough into 2 parts and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   In the meantime, let's prepare the chocolate-colored cocoa dough.

9. STEP 9

   

   We take flour on table 3. There are fewer spoons, since we still have cocoa from the bulk ingredients. Sift flour and cocoa and mix.

10. STEP 10

    

    Knead the chocolate dough in the same way as vanilla (see steps 2-6).

11. STEP 11

    

    Divide the chocolate dough into 2 parts and cool. To save time, you can put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    First we make cookies with a spiral pattern. Take out one part vanilla and one part chocolate dough. Roll out thin light and dark layers.

13. STEP 13

    

    Using a rolling pin, carefully place the dark layer on top of the light layer.

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll it up. Cool in the freezer for about 30 minutes so that the cookies do not wrinkle when cutting.

15. STEP 15

    

    Let's play chess. We take out the remaining parts of the dough. Divide the light dough. Roll out one part into a thin layer.

16. STEP 16

    

    From the other part of the vanilla dough and from the chocolate dough, cut into bars equal in length to the width of the light layer.

17. STEP 17

    

    We lay the blocks in a checkerboard pattern.

18. STEP 18

    

    Carefully roll up and cool well. If there are small leftovers of dark and light dough, you can make marbled cookies. To do this, simply combine the leftovers together, stir and also cool.

19. STEP 19

    

    When the rolls have hardened, cut the cookies 1 cm wide. These are spirals.

20. STEP 20

    

    We also cut chessboards.

21. STEP 21

    

    Place cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 220 degrees. 15-20 minutes.

22. STEP 22

    

    The fragrant cookies are ready.

23. STEP 23

    

    Enjoy your tea!
