1 Dough Neapolitan Cookies
Neapolitan Cookies from 1 Base Cookie Dough
When I was writing Sally’s Cookie Addiction, my latest cookbook, I tested a basic vanilla butter cookie recipe. I turned this vanilla butter cookie recipe into my pinwheel cookies found on page 62. I LOVE this basic cookie dough and you can flavor it, shape it, and layer it in so many ways like today’s neapolitan cookies. Here’s what I love about today’s recipe:
EASY. Made from just 1 cookie dough.
SIMPLE TO SHAPE. No ruler or rolling pin needed. Use a loaf pan.
BUTTERY AND SWEET. I love their flavor.
SOFT. Crunchy crumbly edges and thick, soft centers.
FUN WITH FLAVORS. Spruce up the vanilla layer with crushed walnuts or a little coconut extract. Switch out raspberry jam/extract for the strawberry. Add a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate dough for a mocha flavor. Yum!
Prepare the base cookie dough, then divide it into 3 portions. One portion will be your vanilla dough, so set that aside. The other two portions will be your strawberry cookie dough and chocolate cookie dough.
Ingredients:
Base Cookie Dough
2 and 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (230g; 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature* (see note)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
optional: 1 Tablespoon water and coarse sugar for sprinkling on top*
For the Strawberry Dough
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons (12g) all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon (20g) strawberry jam
1/2 teaspoon almond extract*
pink or red food coloring*

For the Chocolate Dough
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons (8g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder (or dutch process)
1 ounce (28g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

1 ounce (28g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
Directions:
- Make the dough: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Dough will be thick and sticky. Remove from the mixing bowl. No need to rinse out the mixing bowl.
