    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

    • Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    • Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Assemble the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Roll out the chocolate dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
    • Roll out the vanilla dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle of the same size.
    • Carefully place the vanilla dough on top of the chocolate dough. Use a rolling pin to gently press them together.
    • Trim the edges to create an even rectangle. Cut the dough into strips, then cut each strip into smaller pieces to form cookies.
    • If desired, use a fork or a dough scraper to create ridges on the top of each cookie.
  4. Bake the Cookies:
    • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
    • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Serve:
    • Once the cookies are completely cooled, serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Ensure the dough is well chilled before rolling and cutting to maintain clean edges.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
