Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract (if using).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until a soft, pliable dough forms. Do not overmix.

Create the Dough Variations

  • Divide the dough into three portions: one large and two smaller, equal-sized portions.
  • To the large portion, add the ground almonds and mix well. This is your almond dough.
  • To one small portion, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and mix thoroughly. This is your light cocoa dough.
  • To the other small portion, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix well. This is your dark cocoa dough.
  • Cover all three dough portions and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble the Cookies

  • On a lightly floured surface or parchment paper, roll out the dark cocoa dough into a thin rectangle (approximately 3x9 inches).
  • Roll out the light cocoa dough into a log, the same length as the dark cocoa rectangle.
  • Place the light cocoa log onto the center of the dark cocoa rectangle. Roll the dark cocoa dough over the light cocoa log to enclose it.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining dark and light cocoa dough portions.
  • Chill the assembled cocoa rolls for 15 minutes.
  • Roll out the almond dough into a larger rectangle. Place one cocoa roll onto the almond dough rectangle.
  • Roll the almond dough tightly around the cocoa roll, sealing the ends. Repeat with remaining rolls.
  • Shape each log into a smooth cylinder, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Bake and Enjoy

  • Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the chilled logs into 1/4-inch thick cookies. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Leopard Print Cookies

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • If your dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it comes together.
  • Don't overbake the cookies; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Get creative with the design! Try different combinations of colors and flavors.
