I made these cookies a while ago when my cousin visited us. It was derived from a marble cookie recipe that I found somewhere. I changed them completely to make them eggless. They are also very mildly sweet, the way I like them. They were bit on the harder side, but still I loved the taste.
Vanilla part:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tea spn salt
1/4 cup sugar
4 tbl spn butter
1/2 tea spn vanilla extract
1/2 tea spn baking powder
1/4 cup milk
Method:
Beat together butter and sugar till they are well incorporated. Add vanilla extract, milk and beat again.
Add salt, flour and baking powder. Mix well into a dough.
Chocolate part:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tea spn salt
1/4 sugar
4 tbl spn butter
1/2 tea spn vanilla extract
1/2 tea spn baking powder
1/4 cup milk + 2 tea spns
3 tbl spn cocoa powder
Method:
Beat together butter and sugar till they are well incorporated. Add vanilla extract, 1/4 cup milk and beat again.
Add salt, flour, baking powder and baking powder. Mix well into a dough. If required, add remaining milk 1/2 tea spn milk at a time to make a soft pliable dough.
Putting together the cookie:
Knead both the doughs separately. Preheat the oven at 375 F.
Make about 2 inch thick diameter ropes from the dough. Flatten the rope a bit by pressing down the rope a bit. Keep the chocolate flavored rope down and on top of it, keep the vanilla flavored dough. Dip a sharp knife in loose floor(to avoid sticking to knife) and cut the dough into as thin rings as possible (you can shape them into rounds again, but I liked the shape, so left them as they were).
Keep the rings on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 10-13mins.
When they are cooled to room temperature, store in airtight containers.
PS: These are very mildly sweet. So I sprinkled some loose sugar on top before putting the cookies in oven.
The cookies look lovely Shilpa

It does seem like a good recipe, but a few photographs would have made it easier perhaps to understand the procedure better. You always publish your recipes with clear photos all along the way, what happened this time ?
The part where you write “as thin rings as possible” is a little difficult to imagine without some helpful photo hints.
If you can, would you mind supplying some photos ?
Thank you in advance.
Shilpa: Jo, as far as possible, I do take stepwise pictures, but when there are guests at home, I can’t take pictures of each step. If possible, I will update the post in future when I make them again.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:35 pm1/4 Sugar is 1/4 cup sugar right? They look lovely. Would love to give it a try as it is eggless and I have some guests coming over this weekend
Shilpa: Thanks Ujwal. I have corrected it.
