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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Divide the dough evenly into two portions. Leave one portion plain and set aside.
Step 6
To the other portion, add the cocoa powder and mix until the chocolate dough is evenly colored.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your beautiful, marbled cookies!
