Creating Neapolitan Sugar Cookies
A fun take on the classic Neapolitan ice cream! 3 flavors - chocolate, strawberry and vanilla - laid out in one sugar cookie!
Equipment
- cookie dough ready - vanilla, strawberry and chocolate
- parchment paper
- exacto knife
- Rolling Pin
Instructions
- Prepare all your cookie doughs. Roll out to a thicker thickness than what you would normally roll your dough out to (ie: if you generally roll to ¼" then roll these to ⅜").
- Chill dough for at least 30 to 60 minutes.
- Use the exacto knife to slice dough edges to create a rectangular shape. From here you will then do your best to slice into 1" stripes.
- On a separate piece of parchment line up the dough stripes by each flavor, repeating the flavor stripes as you go (ie: vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, repeat).
- Place a piece of parchment on top and roll out to desired thickness.
- Use cookie cutter to cut out desired shapes. Do your best to line up the cookie cutter and utilize all the available dough. Any leftover dough you can combine and roll out to create a marbled effect.
- Bake cookies per your recipes instructions. Allow to cool before decorating or enjoying.
Notes
- Have Your Dough Ready. I have a vanilla sugar cookie recipe that you can use, but unfortunately the strawberry and chocolate recipes I used to have available on the website are back in the vault waiting patiently for updating. I recommend using Google to search for a strawberry or chocolate sugar cookie recipe - just make sure it is a roll out recipe.
- Roll Out Dough. You will be rolling the doughs together after cutting into thick stripes, so I recommend when prepping each dough to roll out to about ⅜" or ½" thickness. When you begin to assemble the dough stripes you will need to roll out again so this is when you can roll to desired thickness.
- Chill Time. Chilling the dough prior to cutting will help ensure a cleaner cut and not jagged edges. You only need to chill for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Equipment. There is not much that is needed for this tutorial, but the items listed are definitely needed. A rolling pin (preferably with measuring guides), an exacto knife (or a very sharp and precision cutting knife) and parchment paper are the 3 items you absolutely need to get this done.
