Had this idea and the components to put it together. On hand were two packages of sugar cookie mix. Yes, mix, nothing "dangerous about that". But, what happened next is out of the ordinary. Mixed up one batch according to directions. Mixed up the second batch and enough added Hershey's Cocoa Mix to make the batch chocolate looking and tasting. Chill both batches. Roll out each batch individually making them about the same size. Chill some again keeping them flat. Layer chocolate batch on top of sugar batch and roll into a log. Trim edges as needed. Slice into cookie rounds, placing them on the cookie sheet as you go. Bake according to sugar mix package directions. They were a hit, and I have had requests to make them again.
A huge thanks to Julie Powell and, ultimately, Julia Child for inspiring adventurous cooking - create and tweak our own recipes - learn from Julia Child.
