With this marble cookie recipe you don't have to choose between the two flavors, it's already combined. This marble-rolled-together cookie disappears quickly at my house, both cookies swirled together as one cookie.

You can freeze these cookies in a freezer bag for up to 3 months (rolled raw dough of pre-baked cookies, either way let them thaw slightly before baking or fully before enjoying them).
