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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half. Leave one half plain (vanilla dough).

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 10

Using your palm or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie ball slightly.

Step 11

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.

Step 12

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.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy the bold, marbled look and delicious flavor of your Tiger Cookies!
