Marble Cookies

Ingredients

• 60 gButter
• 70 gSugar
• 1 tbspWater
• 1/2 tspVanilla essence
• 100 gMaida
• 1 tbspCocoa powder
• 1/4 tspBaking powder

Method

1. 1

   Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and water.

2. 2

   Sieve maida and baking powder. Fold into butter mix. Knead to a dough.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into two equal halves. Knead cocoa into one half.

4. 4

   Roll each half into a long rope. Lay them side by side and twist together gently — don't over-mix or you lose the pattern.

5. 5

   Cling-wrap the marbled log. Chill 20–30 minutes.

6. 6

   Slice into 6 mm rounds. Lay on a tray.

7. 7

   Bake at 180°C for 12–15 minutes. Cool fully — the marble pattern sets visibly once cool.
