COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE STRIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon and salt. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add yolks and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in flour. Divide dough in half; roll each into a 6-inch log. Wrap in plastic and gently flatten sides of log so each resembles a fat stick of butter and, when cut, the slices will be square. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap logs. Cut each into 16 slices (about 1/3 inch thick). Place on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Transfer cookies to rack; let cool.
• In medium-size glass bowl, microwave chocolate on high for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth. Spread each flat cookie bottom with 1 teaspoon melted chocolate. Dry, chocolate side up, on wire racks (30 minutes). Once dry, remelt remaining chocolate in bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag; snip off a small corner. Flip cookies over (chocolate side down) and drizzle stripes. Let dry.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Mix flour and cocoa powder together in a bowl.
• Beat butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla extract; mix well. Mix in flour mixture gradually, 1/2 cup at a time, until incorporated; dough will resemble damp sand.
• Press dough firmly into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cut into 1x2-inch rectangles. Prick each rectangle a few times lightly with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top looks dry and edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before lifting out of the pan.
