  • Add cocoa to the second part of the dough, knead in a bowl until the dough has a uniform color. Shape them into a ball, wrap in foil and put in the fridge for an hour.
  • After an hour, roll out both parts, sprinkle a little flour on the countertop.
  • Prepare cookie cutters – smaller and larger (e.g. big and small stars, hearts, circles).
  • Cut out large cakes from both masses at the beginning.
  • Then cut another hole in the center of the biscuits with a smaller mold.
  • And now: you can bake large cookies with a hole and the tiny ones separately, or you can put small cookies of chocolate color in the middle of the bright ones and vice versa.
  • Transfer these two-colored cakes to a baking tray. Bake for about 12 minutes.
