Savoury Cookie Swirls Recipes

MIX-AND-MATCH SWIRL COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until the dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed.
• Split the base dough in half, add your desired mix-ins, and incorporate them fully.
• We used chocolate hazelnut spread and cocoa powder for one half and peanut butter for the other.
• Roll out each dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Chill both doughs for 30 minutes.
• Place one half of flavored dough on top of the other and start to roll up the doughs into a swirl. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until solid, about 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once chilled, unwrap the dough, slice into ½-inch (1 cm) thick coins, and place them on the baking sheet at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
• Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Try additional combinations.
• Enjoy!

SUGAR SWIRL COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Mix in egg, vanilla, and salt.
• Mix in flour.
• Make the dough into a ball and cut into two halves.
• Add food coloring to one half of the dough, working it in until evenly mixed.
• On a large cutting board covered in plastic wrap, use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough to make two 12x9-inch (30x22-cm) rectangles. Tip: Place wax paper over the dough while rolling to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
• Take the colored dough rectangle and place it over the other regular dough rectangle.
• Use the plastic wrap under the regular dough rectangle to help you roll the two rectangles up.
• Fill a flat dish or baking pan with sprinkles. Roll the dough around it until the outside is completely coated.
• Chill for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Cut the dough into ¼-inch (6-mm) slices and place them on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until blonde.
• Enjoy!

VANILLA-GLAZED SWIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• Knead dough briefly to soften. Fill a cookie press with both kinds of dough, and fit with disk to make shapes. Squeeze cookies directly onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until firm, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Let cool completely before dipping in the vanilla glaze. Let vanilla-glazed cookies set on a wire rack.

SAVOURY CHEESE SWIRLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230degC(450degF).Correction: 200degC (400degF).
• Sift flour and salt together; rub butter in lightly with finger tips.
• Pour nearly all the milk in, saving a little for glazing and quickly mix to a soft dough.
• Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly and quickly; roll out into a slab about 12" by 6" and sprinkle with cheese, shallots, salt and paprika.
• Roll up starting with long side, cut into 1 1/2" or 2" slices; arrange, close together on paper lined baking tray, glaze with the rest of the milk and cook 10 - 12 minutes.

OLIVE BREAD SWIRLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, yeast, 1 tbsp olive oil and 300ml warm water, to make a soft dough. Knead by hand for 10 mins or with the dough hook in a food processor or mixer for 5 mins. Put the dough back in the cleaned out mixing bowl, then cover the bowl with oiled cling film. Leave to rise for an hr in a warm place until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Discard any tough basil stalks (leave tender ones on) and put in a mini food processor or hand blender beaker with the black olives. Add 4 tbsp olive oil, the garlic and the anchovies, if using. Whizz to a rough paste.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a shallow baking tin about 30 x 20cm with non-stick paper. On a floured worktop, roll out the dough to a rectangle roughly 30 x 40cm. Spread the olive paste all over and arrange the whole green olives in a line down one of the short edges. Roll up the dough like a Swiss roll, starting at the short olive-encrusted end to make a sausage shape.
• Cut the dough into 12 slices, then carefully lift each one into the tin, to make 4 rows of 3 swirl shapes. Lightly brush all over with the remaining olive oil. Loosely cover with cling film, then leave to rise for 20 mins or so, until slightly puffed up and filling the tin. Cook for 20-25 mins until golden, then leave to cool in the tin.

SAVOURY COOKIE SWIRLS

Steps:

• Oil a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the flour, oil, bouillon powder and soya milk in a bowl, mix together to form a dough, then divide into three equal pieces. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into rectangles measuring 6x4in.
• Spread the tapenade and chopped mushrooms on one rectangle; the red pesto and chopped red peppers and chilies on another; and the cream cheese, scallions and herbs on the third.
• Roll each sheet up from a short end and cut each roll into six pieces. Place the savoury swirls on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with oil and bake for 25 minutes.
• Serve the swirls hot with soup or cold with a selection of dips.
