Substitutions and Variations
- You may use different flavored extract if you would like, for example, almond or peppermint, to add your own spin on these cookies.
- If you want to make them a little more festive, you could add sprinkles or colored sugar to the dough before rolling it.
- You could try different cocoas too, for instance, dark cocoa powder or Dutch-processed cocoa for a more intense flavor if you’re feeling adventurous.
Make A Healthier Version.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Divide the dough in half. Add the cocoa powder to one half and mix until well combined. Roll out each half of the dough into a rectangle of the same size. Place the chocolate dough on top of the vanilla dough, and roll them up tightly into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
