Like other cookie recipes, I baked a double portion to get enough to share with my siblings and mother in-law. Separately baked another portion for my neighbour when the first bake turned out to be so good.
All in all, I ended up baking 4 portions of this recipe. Isn't it a bit too much, but they really are good.

Verdict - lovely, lovely cookies that are so crispy, fine and aromatic. Taste perfect, melt in the mouth too. This is my favourite kind of cookies. It's a keeper. Made some for my neighbour and she gave a Thumbs Up.

Good morning Kim,
Wow! Nice!
Can I have some pretty and yummy chocolate marble German cookies for my tea break pls:)
Hi Aunty Young, sure you can have some. I strongly recommend readers to try these German cookies either plain, marbled or chocolate flavours. All are so good. If not for time constraint,I would make the other versions too. Some other times then, I'll make German cookies first.
Wow.. marbled cookies.. these r really nice. Piece of art actually
Tks for linking this to best recipes Kimmy
Kimmy, since you gave it such glowing reviews and your neighbour give thumbs up, then I must bake these cookies too hee..hee..
Hi Kimmy, I love to refer to your blog when come to CNY goodies. I have not started baking any for CNY. Last year i tried your kuih Bangkit. This year I'm going to try this recipe. They look good!
Kimmy, I like the last 2 pictures ... these Chocolate Marble German Cookies looked so 'graceful' on the red Ang Pao ^-^!
Hi Kimmy,
I think you have to bake lots of these marble German cookies... These look super addictive and I'm sure they will be gone very quickly :D
Zoe
lovely, I will try with a cookie cutter. Thanks Kimmy
Hi Kimmy,
These German marble cookies of yours looks awesome. Love the round round shape with marble effect.
I love to use Ann's recipe too.
Thanks for sharing this to LTU!
mui
I too made these yesterday. Family members said 'Good'!
Hi Victoria, surprising easy to roll and shape. The wonderful part of this cookie is that it stays in shape after baking and yet crispy.
Hi Phong Hong, you must try it. Quite addictive especially those that I piped into flower shapes. Looks so delicate and melt-in the mouth too.
Hi Amy, do try baking these and I suggest you pipe them into rosette shapes. Really crispy and melt in the mouth.
Hi Karen, I was in a rush when taking these pictures cos' it was already evening time. Thanks, at least it is worth the trouble, hehehe!...But these cookies are worth making.
Hi Zoe, I was crazy making so much. It was a daring attempt and luckily all turned out good. My hubby finished eating the plain and chocolate ones. I kept these marbled ones for giveaways.
Hi Katie, I think you can use a cookie cutter cos' the dough is easy to roll.
Hi Mui Mui, I am glad that Ann has shared this lovely recipe with us. Looks simple yet elegant. Each piece is different in design.
Hi Soke Hah, I think your family members will love it more if these are piped into rosette shapes. BTW, you can make more rosette cookies with the same quantity of dough compared to the round shape.
Hi Kimmy, Your cookies look very pretty! This is also my family favourites :)
Pretty marble cookies,I never thought to make Bi-color,thanks for the reminder..
Thanks for sharing in Best Recipes :)
Hi Ann, I have to thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I doubled the portion and was able to make 3 different coloured cookies out of this quantity and made hundreds of it. BTW, I simply combined both the dough, rolled it into ball and press with my palm. The shape looks good.
Hi Fion, this bi-colour, the plain white and cocoa ones are all lovely cos' they don't change shape after baking yet they are all very crispy, hehehe!
Hi Kimmy,
Can I use Hershey unsweetened cocoa powder?? Which did you use?
Thks
Hi Annoymous, yes you can. The cookies sweet enough for me. I use Van Houten cocoa powder.
