How to cook deliciously - Mix-and-Match Crumbly Cookies
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the egg. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then stir the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture. Combine until you have a soft dough.
2. Stage
Divide the dough in half. Add the cocoa powder to one half, kneading the dough until it is completely chocolatey. Add the orange rind to the remaining dough, kneading it through as before.
3. Stage
Place each piece of dough onto a well-floured surface and, using your hands, create cylindrical sausage-shapes of about 12 inches long from each type of dough. Lay 1 chocolate and 1 orange dough cylinder side by side and, beginning at one end, turn the cylinders to create a spiral. Repeat for all the dough cylinders.
4. Stage
Place your combined dough pieces onto a baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes to firm up. When chilled, flatten each wheel with a rolling pin, then use cookie cutters to cut 2-tone shapes from the dough.
5. Stage
Place the cookies, spaced well apart, onto a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment and bake for 8–10 minutes until cooked through. Cool on a wire rack.
