Description

Soft and buttery vanilla cookies marbled with rich chocolate dough, studded with melty chocolate chips in every bite. Perfect for gifting, tea time, or indulgent snacking.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough in half. Stir cocoa powder into one half to create the chocolate dough.
  6. Take a bit of each dough, gently twist and roll them together into a ball to create a marbled effect.
  7. Slightly flatten the cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press a few chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is properly softened for easier creaming.
  • Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft.
  • Customize by using white or dark chocolate chips.
