Try the Pinwheel Cookies from Fine Cooking. They include instant espresso powder in the chocolate dough, which gives the flavor the umph it needs!

Thanks, Peabody!

Tartelette, thanks for the recommendations. I really wanted these to have a bit more flavor. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind. Thanks!

They look wonderful. Maybe a kick of black pepper in the chocolate dough, vanilla bean in the vanilla one. Baking is often times not complicated but it does requires patience and attention, you are 100% right about that. Well done!

Thanks, Cindy!

Evelin, I think they would be great for gifts!

Miya, I bet those looked great. Very festive.

JEP, don’t sell yourself short. These really weren’t as hard as they look. Just a bit time-consuming.

This look amazing. I made cookies similar to these once but they were red and green for the holidays. I had to use food coloring gel though to get a really rich color.

Thanks, Mandy. Perhaps both magazines have similar recipes, because this one is definitely from Cooking Light.

I agree, Linda. A little different than the chekerboard. Easier, too.

Thanks, Patricia!

Manggy, those are some good suggestions. I would definitely augment if I make them again. Thanks!
