List of Ingredients

Makes 7 dozen

1/2 recipe Master Butter Cookie Dough
7 ounces (about 2/3 cup) almond paste or marzipan, broken into small pieces 1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon egg white
1/2 teaspoon almond extract


Recipe

1. Measure out a firmly packed 1/2 cup of butter cookie dough. In large bowl, at medium speed, beat 1/2 cup of dough, the marzipan, cocoa, egg white and almond extract about 3 or 4 minutes, until smooth.

2. Place remaining butter cookie dough between two sheets of waxed paper and roll out to a 10-inch by 15-inch rectangle. Place chocolate dough between two sheets of waxed paper and roll out to the same size. Remove top sheet of paper from each dough rectangle; invert chocolate dough on top of plain dough, and gently press them together.

3. Remove paper from top of chocolate dough. Starting with a long side, roll dough up tightly, jelly-roll fashion. Keep log wrapped in waxed paper and chill for 2 hours, or until firm.

4. Preheat oven to 350°. Using a sharp knife, cut log into 1/4inch-thick slices. Arrange slices 1/2 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until pale golden. Cool a few minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
