Marble Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Beat the shortening with sugar and egg until light and fluffy.
• Add egg, then vanilla.
• Add dry ingredients and beat until well combined.
• Add chocolate a little at a time, cutting in with a knife. Do not stir.
• Form dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with the bottom of a sugar-coated glass.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden.
• NOTE: I find these a bit salty, i will have to reduce the salt next time. Baked them for 15min.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Transfer half of the dough to a separate bowl and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Beat the molasses, ginger, cinnamon and allspice into the remaining dough. Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap. Drop alternating spoonfuls of the two doughs onto the plastic to form an 11-by-8-inch rectangle. Use the plastic to roll the dough into a 2-by-11-inch log, twisting the ends closed. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and arrange about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are set, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Slowly blend the dry mix into butter mixture.
• Make small (teaspoonfuls) balls of the cookie dough. Press your thumb in the middle of the ball (like a thumbprint cookie). Put a small dollop of peanut butter in the indent. Press a little extra dough on top of the cookie to cover the peanut butter (its okay if a little is still showing). Place onto ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 2 large cookie sheets with cooking spray.
• In large bowl stir cookie mix, butter, egg, water and vanilla until soft dough forms. Cover, and refrigerate until firm; about 30 minutes.
• Divide dough in half. Stir melted chocolate into 1 half of dough. Shape about 1/2 teaspoon each of chocolate and white dough into 1-inch ball of marbled dough. Place about 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Press bottom of glass into dough to grease, then dip into granulated sugar; press on shaped dough until about 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until set and edges just begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to wire rack.

Steps:

• Microwave semi-sweet and white chocolates in separate medium microwaveable bowls as directed on package. Stir 1/3 cup cookies and 1 Tbsp. cranberries into chocolate in each bowl.
• Drop spoonfuls of the 2 chocolate mixtures alternately onto waxed paper-covered baking sheet; swirl gently with knife. Sprinkle with remaining cookies and cranberries.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Beat first 4 ingredients in large bowl with mixer on medium speed until blended. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Remove half of the dough; place in medium bowl.
• Microwave 2 oz. chocolate in small microwaveable bowl 1 min.; stir until completely melted. Add to dough in one of the bowls; mix well. Add peanut butter to remaining dough; mix well. Add chocolate dough to peanut butter dough; mix lightly just until doughs are marbleized.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheet.
• Bake 10 min. or until lightly browned; cool 5 min. on baking sheet. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely. Melt remaining chocolate as directed on package. Drizzle with fork over cookies. Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Put 1 3/4 cups sugar, butter, cream cheese, baking powder, salt, and peppermint and vanilla extracts in a bowl. Cream together with a mixer until well blended, 2 or 3 minutes. Mix in egg until incorporated. Add 2 cups of the flour; mix on low speed until incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes (dough will be very soft).
• Divide dough roughly in half and transfer one half to another bowl. Mix in food coloring, if using, and remaining 1/2 cup flour into one half of dough. Mix cocoa powder into other half. Place 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl.
• Pinch off about 1 teaspoon of green dough and roll into a small ball; repeat with remaining green dough. Do the same with chocolate dough. To make each cookie, line up 4 small balls of dough in a row, alternating colors: green, chocolate, green, chocolate. Squish the 4 small dough balls together and roll lightly into 1 big ball. Roll in sugar; set on prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake until cookie edges start to turn golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
