    Roll half of plain dough into 9x8-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Repeat with half of chocolate dough; place on plain dough. Roll doughs up together tightly, beginning at long side. Repeat with remaining plain and chocolate doughs. Wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Wrap cookies tightly, label and freeze up to 6 months.
  • tip 2
    Cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. If it's too firm, let stand at room temperature until just soft enough to slice.
