These cookies are ideal for breakfast because they are perfect to combine with coffee and milk. I often prepare them because they are very quick to make.
The morning immediately becomes brighter with them for breakfast

Mirta cheetah print cookies

  • Preparation time: XX minutes
  • Ingredients for about 30 biscuits
  • Difficulty: Easy recipe

  • Ingredients
  • 11 oz (300 grams) of all-purpose flour
  • 5 oz (150 grams) of sugar
  •  ½ oz (8 grams) of baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ½ oz (60 grams) of rice seed oil
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
  • For the cocoa dough:
  • ¾ oz (20 grams) of bitter cocoa
  • For the vanilla dough:
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 ½ oz (40 grams) of flour
  1. Instructions
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. In a bowl, first mix the powders (sifted flour, sugar, and baking powder). Create a hole in which to break the 3 eggs. Add the seed oil and grated orange zest.
  4. Incorporate all the ingredients well until the mixture is soft, homogeneous, and slightly sticky.
  5. Transfer the contents of the bowl to a work surface and knead the dough well. Form a nice dough that will be divided into two halves of equal weight.
  6. Add sifted flour and vanilla bean to one half of the dough, then add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the other.
  7. Divide both the vanilla and the cocoa mixture into two parts.
  8. Take one part of the vanilla mixture and one part of the cocoa mixture to form small cylinders about 3 inches long that will be joined together as if to form a loaf that will then be turned on itself to alternate the colors several times. Create a thick loaf, wrap it in cellophane, and leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  9. After this time, cut the biscuits not too thick.
  10. Transfer the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
  11. Once taken out of the oven, wait a few minutes for them to cool.

Tips to ensure the success of the dish:

  • The addition of the extra flour serves to ensure that the vanilla dough has the same consistency as the cocoa one.
  • Obviously the decoration can be of various types: knurled, alternating squares, zebra, torchon, or cheetah print like this.
  • The timing of cooking in the oven is indicative because each oven cooks differently.
