Spiral flaky biscuits

Spiral soft cookies – a perfect choice for weekend mornings, when the aroma of freshly brewed coffee or warm tea intertwines with their sweetness and crunchy texture. These cookies are not just a delicacy, but also a little joy that you can share with your loved ones.

Total preparation time: 3 hours (including refrigeration time)
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
Number of servings: about 30 cookies

Ingredients:
- 300 g cake flour
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 50 g granulated sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 150 g cold butter, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons dark cocoa
- 1 tablespoon natural vanilla extract
- a few tablespoons of cold milk
- 2 packets of small colored decorations for garnish

Step by step for spiral soft cookies:

1. Dry ingredient mix: In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use a spatula or whisk to mix well, ensuring all ingredients are homogeneous.

2. Incorporating the butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredient mix. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you achieve a texture similar to breadcrumbs. If you prefer, you can use a food processor to make this step quicker.

3. Adding flavors: Incorporate the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of milk. Mix gently until the dough begins to come together. If necessary, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the dough becomes homogeneous.

4. Dividing the dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for one hour. The other half will be mixed with cocoa.

5. Preparing the cocoa dough: Add cocoa to the other half of the dough. If needed, add a tablespoon of milk until the dough binds. This step will give your cookies a delicious contrast between the two colors.

6. Chilling the dough: Wrap both pieces of dough in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

7. Shaping the dough sheets: Remove the white dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a rectangle on a surface lined with parchment paper. The sheet should be thin but not break. Repeat the same process with the cocoa dough.

8. Combining the sheets: Remove the dough sheets from the refrigerator and peel off the parchment paper. Brush the white sheet with a little water using a brush, then carefully place the cocoa sheet on top. Cover with a baking sheet and gently level with a rolling pin.

9. Chilling again: Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

10. Rolling the dough: Remove the roll from the refrigerator and place it on a clean table (make sure not to get messy while rolling it). Roll the dough as tightly as possible along the width. Sprinkle the colored decorations on the baking sheet and roll the log over them, pressing lightly to adhere.

11. Final refrigeration: Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

12. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place a baking sheet in the tray. Remove the roll from the refrigerator and, with a sharp knife, cut slices about 1/2 cm wide. Place them on the tray, leaving enough space between them, as the cookies will expand during baking.

13. Finishing: Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes. It is important that they are not too hard when you take them out of the oven, as they will harden as they cool.

Serving suggestions: These spiral soft cookies are wonderful alongside a cup of hot coffee or a glass of milk. I recommend trying to serve them with warm chocolate sauce or even ice cream for an indulgent dessert.

Nutritional information: Each cookie has about 80 calories, but you can adjust the ingredients, especially the sugar, to suit your preferences. The cookies contain healthy fats from butter and can be a quick energy source for busy mornings.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I replace butter with oil? While you can try, the texture will be different.
- How can I store the cookies? They keep well in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Can I add nuts or chocolate? Absolutely! You can experiment with various additions to customize the recipe.

Possible variations: You can replace cocoa with cinnamon for a different flavor or add almond extract for another aromatic profile. You can also experiment with different types of colored decorations, depending on the occasion.

These spiral soft cookies are not just a simple recipe, but also an opportunity to create unforgettable moments with your loved ones. Prepare them with love and enjoy every bite!
