    **Ingredients**

    * 3/4 cup (115g) butter
    * 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
    * 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
    * 1 tsp vanilla extract
    * 2 eggs
    * 2 (250g) cups baking flour
    * 1 1/2 (180g) cups almond flour
    * 1/3 (35g) cup cocoa powder
    * 1 tsp baking soda
    * 1 tsp baking powder

    **Directions**

    1. Preheat oven at 350°F (180°C)
    2. In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup (115g) butter, 3/4 cups (150g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla.
    3. Whisk in 2 eggs
    4. Mix in 2 1/2 cups (250g) baking flour, 1 1/2 cup (180g) almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp baking powder
    5. Separate the dough into two equal halves (A and B)
    6. In dough A, mix in an extra 1 tsp of vanilla extract
    7. In dough B, mix in 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
    8. Line a baking tray with parchment paper – OR – cooking spray
    9. On a clean surface lined with flour (or a bit of butter), roll out six eight-inch long tubes of dough A. Repeat with dough B
    10. Alternating the colours, line up 4 tubes of the dough A roll with the dough B roll to form the traditional Battenberg shape. When done, repeat the process on top for three layers (photo for reference in [post](https://www.sarahfreia.com/blog/gluten-free-battenberg-cookie-recipe))
    11. With a sharp knife, cut out half-inch slices of the dough. Evenly play on baking tray.
    12. Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes
    13. Allow the biscuits to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes (or don’t… it’s your life)
    14. Enjoy!
