Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cream together 1 cup of softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed for 3 minutes until light and airy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions and tint one with brown food coloring, one with orange, and leave the third uncolored.
- Weigh out 2 oz. portions of each dough, combine randomly for marbling and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Cool cookies briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use room temperature butter for optimal creaming, and avoid over-mixing to keep cookies soft. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
