Whether you want to pair your favorite chocolate chip cookies with a tried-and-true traditional Snickerdoodle, bring a bright and colorful element to snack time with matcha and fruit-flavored cookie dough, or simply mix classic vanilla and chocolate flavors, adopting a strategic approach to rolling out marble cookies can pay off.

To start, prepare cookie dough of each flavor and portion out equally sized spheres using a small scooper. From there, you will simply layer each flavor of dough on top of one another, press it together, and roll it into a ball. When using this layering tip, be careful that you don't over-blend the flavors so that you preserve that coveted Instagram-worthly marbelized appearance.

Cookies that look as good as they taste

This scooping approach can not only help you make many marble cookies quickly but using a scooper can also help ensure a fairly consistent shape and size in your next cookie-baking attempt. However, you should keep in mind that contrasts in color can result in a more visible marbelized appearance, and combining cookie dough with similar textures can result in a more evenly baked cookie to savor.

After your baked marble cookies are taken out of the oven, garnish with your choice of flaky salt, drizzles of caramel, icing, decorative pieces of dried fruit, or edible flowers to complement your chosen cookie flavors. With a baking hack this simple to practice, you may make marble cookies more frequently while dreaming up which flavors you'd like to combine next. Borrow ideas from your favorite marble muffins and cakes and enjoy molding mixes that surprise and delight family and friends.
