Zebra Stripe Cookie Recipe



Ingredients:
3 C all-purpose flour
1 C granulated sugar
2/3 C powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 C margarine or butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 C cocoa

Directions:
1. Mix flour, sugars, vanilla, margarine, salt and egg until dough forms.  Divide dough into halves.  Mix cocoa into 1 half.  Pat or roll each half into a 9 inch square.  Cut each square into three 3-inch strips.  Cut strips crosswise into halves.

2. Lift 1 brown strip half with large metal spatula onto plastic wrap.  Top with 1 white strip half; press firmly.  Top with remaining 10 brown and white strip halves, alternating colors and pressing firmly to form into a bar, about 4.5 inches long, 3 inches wide and about 3 inches high.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1-2 hours.

3. Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Cut bar crosswise into about eighteen 1/4-inch slices; cut each slice crosswise into halves.  Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Bake cookies until edges begin to brown, 8-10 minutes.  Makes 36 cookies.
