Chocolate-vanilla cookies
Description
Homemade treats for tea. The cookies are easy and simple to prepare; the key is to keep them rolled up in the freezer for at least 1 hour, so they slice neatly into thin pieces without the stripes mixing. You don't need to bake the dessert for long—10 minutes is enough for the cookies to become golden brown, and they'll become crisp once cooled. Serve with milk, lemonade, tea, etc. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
