Zebra Chocolate Swirl (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
1 cup unsalted butter, let it get soft
04 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
05 -
1/2 cup plain cocoa powder, not sweetened
06 -
2 1/2 cups regular flour
07 -
1 cup regular white sugar
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up. Pop the cookies in and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. When the edges look just right, take them out. Let them cool on the baking pan for a few before putting them on a rack.
02 -
Drop spoonfuls of the plain and chocolate dough on your lined baking tray, switching between the two. Grab a toothpick or something similar and twist it through the dough so you get those cool patches and swirls.
03 -
Stir the unsweetened cocoa into the second batch of dough so it all turns chocolatey.
04 -
Split the dough in half as evenly as you can. Leave one half as is for the vanilla piece.
05 -
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder together in another bowl. Slowly dump this into your wet stuff, and stir it just enough to make everything stick together. Don’t overdo it.
06 -
Crack in each egg, blending well every time. Then add your vanilla and mix until it’s all in there.
07 -
Use a mixer to beat the soft butter and white sugar together in a big bowl. Keep going till it’s all fluffy and looks light.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you want bold swirls, don't completely mix the dough when you're swirling it. Just a few turns will do.
