Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Almonds ground
- 2 1/2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
Optional
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract enhances flavor
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.
