Description
Zebra Cookies are fun and delicious treats that combine vanilla and chocolate dough to create a striking striped appearance.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. To one half, add the cocoa powder and milk, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out a ball of the vanilla dough and a ball of the chocolate dough. Roll them together to form a larger ball, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a fun twist, try adding ½ cup of chocolate chips to the dough for extra chocolatey goodness.
- You can also drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch.
