Pinwheel cookies

These come out very impressive ! Definitely worth a try.

Ingredients

225 gms butter
2/3 cup superfine sugar
2&1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

• Grease 2-3 baking sheets with little butter. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 
• Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Transfer half the mixture to a separate bowl and 1 cup of the flour and all of the cocoa.
• Stir the vanilla extract into the other half of the mixture and sift in the remaining flour.
• Stir both mixtures to make firm dough. Roll out each piece of dough on a floured counter into a rectangle.
• Place the chocolate dough on a large sheet of waxed paper and carefully place the vanilla dough on top.
• Roll up firmly from one long side. Wrap the roll in the paper and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degree F / 180 degree C. Unwrap the dough and cut into thin slices. 
• Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
• Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
