I love Christmas holidays because it is a great time to do things with children and one of the most fun tasks for them is to get into the kitchen. This time my nieces and I have prepared some butter and chocolate spiral cookies I encourage you to do with your children.
The task is very fun because they will have to knead with their hands, stain a little and have a great time. Then the adults cut the cookies and bake them, and then comes the best: They are so rich that they will enjoy them at breakfast or snack knowing that they have made them themselves.
Ingredients for 12 giant cookies
- 250 g of flour, 150 g of icing sugar, 100 g of butter, 1 XL egg and 25 g of Colacao, Nesquik or similar
How to make spiral butter and chocolate cookies
We put the icing sugar in a bowl and add the butter cut into small pieces and leave at room temperature until the butter is very soft. Then we tell the children to start kneading. It is a very fun and challenging task for them.
When everything starts to mix well, add the flour and the egg and continue kneading until everything is integrated more or less homogeneously. Then we make a ball and divide it into two halves.
To one of them we add the cocoa and work it a little until it is well integrated. Then, we stretch the two doughs with a rolling pin, placing each of them between two kitchen plastics. Then we place the chocolate dough on top of the white dough and press a little so that they join together.
Roll the dough into a kind of cylinder and then wrap that cylinder in plastic film or plastic and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes so that it hardens a bit and settles.
Finally, we cut the cookies about half a cm thick and spread them on a baking sheet covered with sulfurized baking paper and we cook at 180º for about 15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on a rack until they harden.

Tasting
These butter and chocolate spiral cookies Children like them a lot because the taste of chocolate is quite noticeable and they have the hard texture of traditional butter cookies. They are great with a glass of milk. (And the elders also like it very much, I assure you)
