Five Flavour

This is not a recipe.
This is the combination, or attachment, of 5 different cookie doughs into one log. It's a great way to use excess dough.
Note, cookie shown below is before baking. After baking, the doughs meld into each other.  Each bite is a different flavour making these cookies fun to eat.

Ingredients

  • 5 different cookie doughs (handful of each)
  • 1 egg (for eggwash)
  • Sanding sugar or crushed nuts for edge

Preparation

  1. Roll each dough into thin 1/2" diameter logs, 10" in length.
  2. Connect the five logs into one log.  
  3. Wrap with cling film.  Roll the log into a rounded shape.  The log should be less than 2" in diameter.
  4. Put the log into the storage tube.  Close both ends.  Roll the storage tube to further shape the dough. 
  5. After the logs have chilled for a minimum of 3 hours, take out of the tubes.
  6. Brush the logs with an egg wash and roll in sanding sugar or crushed nuts. This step is optional… but do it if you want a nice edge to the cookies.
  7. Slice the log into 1/4” to 1/2" thick cookies. Remember to roll the log slightly (about 1/8) after each slice to prevent the log from flattening from the weight of the knife.  It keeps the cookies round with each slice.
  8. Place the cookies on parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Leave about 1” between cookies.
  9. Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Cookies should be slightly brown.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to wire racks.
