Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Number of servings: Approximately 30 cookies

Ingredients for the white dough:
- 250 g flour
- 60 g cornstarch
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 225 g margarine
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 vial vanilla essence

Ingredients for the brown dough:
- 200 g flour
- 50 g cornstarch
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 50 g cocoa
- 225 g margarine
- 1 vial vanilla essence

Step by step for two-tone vegan cookies:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Prepare all the ingredients before you start. Make sure the margarine is at room temperature for easier incorporation. If it is too cold, you can leave it in the kitchen for 10-15 minutes.

2. Creaming the margarine with sugar: In a large bowl, add the margarine and powdered sugar for the white dough. Use a spatula or mixer to cream the margarine with the sugar until you achieve a creamy and homogeneous mixture. Add the vanilla essence and lemon zest. Mix well.

3. Adding dry ingredients: Sift the flour and cornstarch over the margarine and sugar mixture. Gently mix until the ingredients combine into a soft dough. It will have a pleasant and slightly sticky consistency.

4. Preparing the brown dough: In another bowl, repeat the same process for the brown dough. Cream the margarine with the powdered sugar and vanilla essence, then add the cocoa, flour, and cornstarch. Mix until homogeneous.

5. Chilling the dough: Wrap each dough in plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This step is essential for obtaining crunchy and well-formed cookies.

6. Shaping the cookies: After the dough has cooled, take it out of the fridge. From each dough, pinch a ball the size of a cherry. Combine the two balls to form a two-tone cookie. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them as they will spread while baking.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 160°C for a fan oven). Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until they become lightly browned at the edges. Let them cool on a rack to stabilize.

8. Serving: These cookies are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a cup of aromatic coffee or fragrant tea. Add a touch of fruit jam or a spoonful of nut cream for an extra burst of flavor.

Useful tips:
- If you want crunchier cookies, you can add a tablespoon of ground nuts to the white or brown dough.
- Experiment with flavors! You can replace vanilla essence with almond essence for a more intense taste.
- These recipes are versatile. Replace cocoa with carob powder for a healthier option.

Nutritional benefits:
Two-tone cookies are a good source of energy due to the carbohydrate content from flour and sugar. The added cornstarch helps improve the texture, while the lemon zest adds a boost of vitamin C. Additionally, they are a suitable choice for those observing a vegan diet, as they contain no animal-derived ingredients.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can these cookies be frozen? Yes, you can freeze the shaped cookies without baking them. When you want to bake them, take them out of the freezer and bake them directly without thawing.
- Can I use butter instead of margarine? Yes, but they will no longer be vegan. If you choose to use butter, the flavor of the cookies will be richer.
