- Assemble the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chocolate dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Roll out the vanilla dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle of the same size.
- Carefully place the vanilla dough on top of the chocolate dough. Use a rolling pin to gently press them together.
- Trim the edges to create an even rectangle. Cut the dough into strips, then cut each strip into smaller pieces to form cookies.
- If desired, use a fork or a dough scraper to create ridges on the top of each cookie.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the dough is well chilled before rolling and cutting to maintain clean edges.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
