How to Make Black And White Cookies
- **Pastry:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar (or extract and sugar), almond extract (if using), and egg to the well.
- Gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the well into the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick paste forms.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add more flour to the mixture if necessary, until a firm, smooth dough forms. If too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- Divide the dough in half.
- **Chocolate Dough:** In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and milk. Add this mixture to one half of the dough and knead until evenly combined.
- **Choose Your Pattern:** Select one of the following patterns:
- **Pinwheel Pattern:** Roll out both dough halves into equal-sized rectangles. Brush one rectangle with egg white. Top with the second rectangle. Brush the top with egg white. Tightly roll up like a Swiss roll. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Checkered Pattern:** Roll out both dough halves into equal-sized rectangles. Cut the light dough into 5 strips (3/8 inch or 1 cm thick). Cut the dark dough into 4 strips (3/8 inch or 1 cm thick and same length). Brush with egg white and layer the strips, alternating colors. Wrap the whole stack in a thin layer of dough. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Easy Pattern:** Roll half the dough into a 1 1/4 inch (3cm) diameter roll. Brush with egg white. Roll out the remaining dough into an oblong shape and wrap it around the roll. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4 inch thick cookies.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake on a greased baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
