Chocolate and Vanilla Swirl Cookies

Cup of tea and a biscuit?

This magical combination can cure a large percentage of all bad things in the world. If you had the time to tally them up and work out a percentage, that is. Then I suppose you could do it over a cup of tea and a biscuit…

100gr unsalted butter

50gr caster sugar

50gr cornflour

100gr plain flour

1, Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

2, Sift in the flours and mix well

5, Wrap separately in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

6, Roll each piece of dough out, in a rectangle to about 3-4mm thick and place one on top of the other. Trim the edges with a sharp knife so you have perfect rectangle
