2. Divide the butter into approximately two equal parts. Sift the flour with baking powder. Add half of the flour to the butter and knead the dough. It should turn out soft and not stick to your hands. If desired, the recipe for "Zebra" cookies can be supplemented with a pinch of vanilla or cinnamon.

4. After about 35–45 minutes, you can continue working. Roll out the dough (not too thin) into a square. Place the chocolate dough, rolled out the same way, on top. Cut in half and stack the halves on each other. Then you can cut again to make the cookies taller. In the end, you'll get a tall, striped dough block.
