- Using an electric mixer, beat butter with icing sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in flour until just mixed.
- Remove half the dough and set aside. Sprinkle cocoa powder over remaining half. Gently beat (if using a paddle attachment), or knead until evenly mixed.
- Divide each half into 2 pieces to make 2 chocolate and 2 vanilla halves. Between sheets of parchment paper, flatten each piece into a large rectangle, approximately 9 1⁄2” in length. Remove the top piece of parchment from each and invert the chocolate rectangles over the vanilla. Gently press together, and remove the top piece of parchment from the chocolate.
- Starting at the long end, tightly roll each stack into logs, peeling the dough from the bottom parchment as you go. Wrap each log in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour, until well chilled (or freeze up to 2 months).
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° F (175° C). Unwrap logs and slice into 1⁄4” thick rounds. Spread out on parchment-lined Sheet Pans.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, for 15–20 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a cooling rack.
