Ingredients

You need the following items to make two two-toned log cookies:

1. Sugar - Use powdered sugar for the perfect cookie dough.
2. Flour - All-purpose flour is used as a base for the cookie.
3. Butter - I use salted butter as it balances the sweetness of the cookies.
4. Egg - It provides texture, structure, and moisture.
5. Chocolate - Use cocoa powder for chocolate flavor.
6. Raising agents - Baking powder and soda.
7. Vanilla - Another flavour for a second toned cookie recipe.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Prepare dough

Combine butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer or whisk in a mixing bowl. Add an egg and mix well.

Stir in all the dry ingredients, i.e., all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix with a spatula and knead into a soft dough using your hands.

Cover the dough with cling foil and chill it for 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the fridge and divide it into two equal portions (image below).

Prepare cookie log

Shape one portion of dough into a log 10 inches long. Cover it with parchment paper and chill it for 15-20 minutes in the fridge.

Meanwhile, knead cocoa powder into the other portion of the dough. Roll this chocolate dough to a rectangle of 10 inches in length and width of any size but should be nearer to 6 inch. Don't stress about the extra width, as it will overlap anyway.

To make a rectangle for cookie dough, place the parchment paper underneath the dough to prevent sticking to the surface. Press the dough into a rough rectangular shape with your hands. This makes it easier to maintain the shape as you roll. Roll from the center outward rather than just back and forth. Once rolled out, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to trim uneven edges. Gather the scraps and re-roll if needed.

Remove the vanilla dough log from the fridge and place it along one long side of the chocolate dough rectangle. Roll the chocolate dough tightly to enclose the log (image below).

Refrigerate this two-color log cookie dough for 30 minutes to set firm. Once chilled, remove from the fridge and trim the ends. Slice the log into rounds of equal size (image below).

Reshape the cookies

As you can see in the image, the ends of the chocolate dough overlap and tend to open easily. To fix this issue, gently press the loose ends of the logs with your fingers to seal them. They will stick to each other quickly (image below). Reshape them if needed.

Air fry

Preheat the air fryer for 5-8 minutes at 160°C. Line the air fryer tray/basket with parchment paper. Transfer the double-color cookies to the lined air fryer tray. Place them at a distance. Air fry these chocolate vanilla cookies for 12-15 minutes at 160°C or until golden. Leave cookies in the basket/tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
