For chocolate dough:
Cocoa pwd-15 gms,
All purpose flour-115gms.

Note:To make these cookies,you need a 12 inch scale to measure and a knife to cut the dough sheet.

Method:
Sieve flour and cocoa pwd in a bowl and keep aside.
Take a bowl and put butter in it,run the blender for few seconds to soften the butter.

Add sugar and run the blender for a minute to make the mixer smooth and creamy.

With a spoon scrap the sides.
Add egg and run the blender for a minute.

Add vanilla essence and run the blade for 30 seconds.

Scrap the sides and bring the mixture in the center.
Divide the butter mixture in half(approx)

Spoon half of the butter mixture in the cocoa flour bowl.
Add plain flour to the other half and knead the dough into a ball.

Transfer to the counter and make a rectangle shape.

Cover with a cling film and put in the fridge for 1 hour.

Repeat the same with the coco flour and butter mixer.

Knead the cocoa dough and wrap with a cling film and put in the fridge for an hour.
Take out the dough from the fridge.

Sprinkle some flour on the counter.

Roll the white dough with a rolling pin with 6 mm in thickness and the width should be 12 cm.

Roll the dough and then measure and then using a scale cut out the extra dough.
Keep some dough to make dots for the bow of the cookie box and the rest can be rolled again or you can make plain cookies.
Using a scale and a knife cut 4 strips,each strip measuring 3 cm in width from 12 cm.

Keep the 4 strips aside in a tray.
Roll the cocoa dough with a rolling pin with 4 mm thickness and width is 12 cm.

Cut out 2 strips each measuring 3 cm.

Leave the rolled cocoa sheet on the counter.
Take a white strip dough and place a cocoa strip on it,then to make a sandwich,place a white strip on top.

Do the same with the other strip too.
We now have 2 log sandwich.

The width of the sandwich is 3 cm.
Cut each log into 3 long strips,each 1 cm in width.

Each log has 3 strips,so 2 logs will have 6 strips.
Place the strips on the tray.
Cut 3 strips for the rolled out cocoa dough,each measuring 2 cm.
Place one strip of cocoa dough between two strips of sandwich log.

Like wise place the other 2 cocoa strips between the two sandwich stripped log.

We will have 3 prepared logs.

Wrap each log with foil and keep in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Pre heat oven to 350 F or 180 C.
Make bows from the cocoa scraps by cutting rectangle size and joining the tip with a dot of white dough.
Take out the logs from the fridge and cut equal sizes and place the bows on top.
