Preheat oven to 150oC - Place Butterfly in Thermomix.
2. Put butter and sugars into TM and cream until light and fluffy – sp4
for 1 minute. Use spatula to push mix down into the bowl.
3. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time through hole in the lid – sp4 for
15 seconds for each egg. Remove Butterfly.
4. Add flour and all other dry ingredients – sp5 for 20 seconds, then
closed lid position, 1.5minutes on Interval speed.
5. Turn out dough onto Thermomat and divide into two portions.
Lightly knead in red gel food colour into one half and green gel
food colour into the other half.
6. Wrap separately in clingfilm and place in the fridge for approximately
10 -15 minutes.
7. Return dough to Thermomat and roll both colours into separate rectangles 9” x 6”. Then place one rectangle on top of the other.
Working quickly, roll up tightly from the long side. Place in clingfilm and return to fridge for 30 minutes.
8. Cut into ¼” slices, insert stick into disk and flatten slightly. Place on baking tray (lined with baking paper) about 1” apart.
9. Bake at 150oC for 10 – 12 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks.
10. Decorate further if desired.
Tip
These cookies, while they take a little time in the preparation (that is, time spent in the fridge firming up mostly (!)) - are well worth the wait in the end.
Give them a try. You can use the mix for loads of other types of cookies, change the colour or coordinate the spiral to match your Christmas/birthday party theme; add choc chips, m&ms, nuts, etc if you wish. Let your imagination be your guide.
Enjoy!

Comments
Sorry, but didn't work at all for me
Firstly everything is in cups/teaspoons? Where's the grams measurements? And the mixture was far too buttery and kept cracking when trying to roll. Maybe I did something wrong? But hard to know when trying to measure butter in cups??
