BLACK AND WHITE PINWHEELS (REFRIGERATOR)

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
• Blend together the butter and the sugar, beat in the egg yolk, milk and vanilla. Add the flour mixture. Mix to combine.
• Divide dough into two parts.
• Leave one part buttery and yellow, the other half is to have melted chocolate chips added to it.
• (Melt in microwave or over boiling water in double boiler being very careful not to scorch or burn).
• Chill both halves of the dough.
• Roll out the black and white sections separately, each between two sheets of waxed paper.
• Roll into rectangles with 1/4 inch thickness. Place black on white roll together as tough rolling a jelly roll, removing center wax paper as you go.
• Shape into uniform roll and chill dough for up to one hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Slice chilled dough into 1/8 inch thick slices.
• Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 to 7 minutes.

BLACK AND WHITE PINWHEEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the flour, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, egg and soft butter in a stand mixer and mix. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worksurface and knead briefly by hand. Cut the dough in half. Wrap one half and chill for an hour. Knead the cocoa and milk into the other half. Wrap and chill for an hour.
• Roll each batch of dough into a rectangle (about 30cm x 20cm) on a lightly floured worksurface. Coat the top of one layer with egg white then lift the other colour of dough on top and coat the top with egg white. Roll up tightly like a Swiss roll. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 175C/fan 155C/gas 3½. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Cut the dough into slices about 5mm thick with a sharp knife. Bake in batches for 10-12 minutes, but don't let the pale dough darken as you want to keep the contrast. Allow to cool completely.
