Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for texture adjustment)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough in half. Leave one half plain (vanilla dough).
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of milk to create a smooth paste. Mix this cocoa paste into the second half of the dough to make the chocolate dough.
Pinch off equal small amounts of vanilla dough and chocolate dough. Gently press them together and roll into a ball (about 1 inch in diameter), creating a marbled tiger-striped effect.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Using your palm or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie ball slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the bold, marbled look and delicious flavor of your Tiger Cookies!
