Italian Vanilla and Chocolate Twist Cookies

These Italian vanilla and chocolate twist cookies are a fun spin on a classic sugar cookie made with a sugar cookie dough and chocolate cookie dough twisted together. Perfect for holiday cookie trays or afternoon snacks!
I love cookie recipes with fun shapes! Other favorites include Italian S cookies, crunchy twisted cookies, or Italian twist cookies.
If you are a fan of sugar cookies and chocolate shortbread cookies, these cookies are the best of both in one fun Italian vanilla and chocolate twist cookie! The classic marble combination of chocolate and vanilla is striking just like in abbracci cookies and is a delicious contrast in flavors.
Whether you need a Christmas cookie for a holiday cookie exchange or just to enjoy with a cold glass of milk, these sugar cookie twists with vanilla and chocolate dough are both impressive and delicious.
