Recipe Ingredients
- 250 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 130 grams caster sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Methods
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking tray
Preheat the oven to 160 °C (320 °F) and line a baking tray with a baking parchment.
2. Weigh all ingredients
Take a large bowl and weigh out the sugar. You can add butter directly to the sugar. In another bowl, weigh out the flour and mix with baking powder and salt
3. Make the dough
Cream the butter on the middle speed with caster sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy and creamy.
Stir in the egg.
Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder and salt. Mix well until combined. You will get a nice medium soft dough that you can easily shape.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. You can weigh it to get equal sized parts. Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to one half and mix well.
4. Shape the dough
Form many small balls from each large ball. Make sure that you have the same number of small balls from the light and dark dough. (In this case, I weighed each scoop to give you the exact serving size we’re talking about: Each individual scoop of light dough weighs 7 grams. The same goes for the dark dough. That means you end up with a marbled ball, which according to my calculations should weigh 14 grams ;) But you don’t have to do it that precisely. I usually just estimate it.)
Now take a plain ball and a chocolate ball and combine them into a marbled ball.
To get the marbling, take a light-coloured ball and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Put a dark ball on top and close the light dough around the dark one. Press in several times with your fingertips so that the light and dark dough combine and then form a ball between your palms until you get a marble pattern. Note the marbling, don’t knead too much.
5. Bake
Put the marble cookies on the lined baking tray and bake on the middle shelf for about 15 minutes.
It makes 65 cookies.
