An indispensable addition to the New Year's atmosphere is a cup of hot tea, or cocoa with a snack with a biscuit. Early we already had to consider the recipes of the famous ginger biscuit , so in this article we decided to focus on a slightly more original delicacy - "Spiralki" cookies.
Two-color biscuits "Spiral"
Ingredients:
- butter or margarine - 500 g;
- eggs - 4 pieces;
- flour - 500 g;
- sugar - 350 g;
- vanilla extract - 4-5 drops;
- cocoa powder - 1 tbsp. a spoon.
Preparation
The technology of making such cookies reminds of the preparation of a familiar grated pie from a short pastry . Butter or margarine is frozen, after which it is rubbed on the grater. The oil mass is rubbed into crumbs with flour and eggs, then sugar or powder is added, a few drops of vanilla extract.
The finished plastic dough must be divided into two equal parts, one of which should be added cocoa powder.
Part of the dough without cocoa is rolled into a rectangular bed about half a centimeter thick. Similarly we do the chocolate part. We put a chocolate layer on top of white and roll into a tight roll. We wrap the tape with film and put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, after which the dough can be cut into circles and put on a baking sheet covered with cooking paper. "Spiral" is prepared for about 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees.
Colored spiral with confetti
The colors add a brightness and a good mood to the holiday, which is why the dough for one of the layers of the cookie can be made in color using natural, or artificial food dyes.
Ingredients:
- butter - 500 g;
- flour - 2 items;
- baking powder - 1/2 tsp;
- sugar - 1/4 tbsp. + 2/3 tbsp. powder;
- salt - a pinch;
- food coloring;
- vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon;
- confetti or colored sugar.
Preparation
Soft butter is mixed with sugar and powdered sugar. Sift the flour with the baking powder into the oil mixture, add the vanilla extract and knead the dough. We divide the dough into two equal parts: one part is left clean, and the other is mixed with the green dye. To add liver flavor, you can sprinkle it with a few drops of almond extract, or replace some of the wheat flour with almond.
Both balls of dough wrapped in a film and leave in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. The rest of the dough is rolled into a rectangle and we put both parts on top of each other. Fold the test piece with a spiral and roll in confetti. We let the roulet cool in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, without forgetting to wrap it with a film.
We cut out cookies from a roll and put them on a sheet of baking paper. Bake colored "Spiral" at 170 degrees 15-17 minutes.

Mix the dry ingredients with the oily-egg mixture, and the finished elastic dough is divided into 3 parts. Each part is mixed with the dye, wrapped with a film and allowed to cool for 30 minutes. Cooled dough rolled into a bundle and weave the strands between each other with a spiral. Thin tricolor bundle cut into pieces and each piece twist a spiral.
