Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough evenly into two portions. Leave one portion plain and set aside.
To the other portion, add the cocoa powder and mix until the chocolate dough is evenly colored.
Take small amounts of the plain dough and chocolate dough, and gently twist them together to form a marble effect. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Roll the marbled dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your beautiful, marbled cookies!
