Ingredients:
- 200g Powdered Sugar
- 250g Melted Butter (salted, or add a pinch of salt if using unsalted)
- A packet of Vanilla Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 500g All-Purpose Flour (added gradually)
- 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
Instructions:
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually sift in the flour, mixing steadily to form a soft dough. Be cautious not to overmix.
- Cocoa Twist: Separate a portion of the dough and blend in the cocoa powder, creating a chocolate-flavored dough.
- Create Swirls: Roll out both doughs and layer them. Gently roll together to create a marbled effect. Chill the dough for easier handling.
- Shape Cookies: Slice the chilled dough into desired shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the edges are just golden, about 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
