Chocolate Marbled Cookies

I have seen many bloggers making this light and crumbly, melt in your mouth recipe ~ German Butter Cookies adapted from Min's Blog. I've changed the recipe a little by adding some Valrhona cocoa powder to make it marbled for extra chocolately and it's definitely worthwhile to play around with them a little bit :)

125g Butter

40g Icing sugar (sifted)

125g Potato starch or corn starch

80g Plain flour (sifted twice)

Beat butter and icing sugar till fluffy and lighter in color.

Sift in potato starch and flour, mix to form a soft plain dough and set aside.

Sift in potato starch, Valrohona cocoa powder and plain flour, mix to form a soft chocolate dough.

Divide plain and chocolate dough into 4 portions.

Roll plain and chocolate dough separately into long strips. Using 1 tsp measuring spoon of plain and chocolate dough, wrap them around each other with your hand and place on a lined baking tray and gently press dough with your finger.

Bake at preheated oven at 170C for 13-15 mins depending on the size of your cookies.

Leave to cool completely and store in an airtight container.

This melts in your mouth cookie is perfect with a cup of fresh brewed coffee :)

Enjoy!
