In Italy, folks call this base pasta biscotto—and it's their go-to for all sorts of rolled desserts. You know, the moist, almost spongy layer from this recipe works great with Nutella, strawberry jam, or whipped cream and fresh berries. Super tasty. The cool part? It's versatile. Cookie dough pasta is like the building block for desserts like tiramisù (swap it in for ladyfingers) or even a Dobos cake. And you know what? Different Italian regions have their own twists—sometimes they add liqueurs or citrus zest to give it a little extra something. You end up with a golden sheet that rolls up so so easily. Cannot go wrong.

Whether you're crafting simple family treats or impressive party desserts, cookie dough spaghetti and cookie dough noodles open up endless possibilities. People love playing around with all kinds of fillings and shapes. Honestly, it's super easy to handle. Some folks even use it for special occasions, layering it with creams and fruits, or cutting it into strips for unique cookie dough creations. Seriously, the result is always a soft, sweet dessert that’s both light and satisfying.

It’s the sort of thing people keep coming back to, because each time you make it, you can switch things up. Pretty much. That's why these unique cookie dough dishes are so popular with anyone who likes a little adventure but still craves that cozy, home-baked taste.

How to prepare Biscuit dough

To prepare the biscuit dough, pour the eggs and vanilla extract into the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with whisks 1. Turn on the machine and slowly add the sugar. Work for about 10 minutes until you get a swollen, light, and frothy mixture 3.

Add the flour by sifting it directly into the bowl 4 and gently mix with a spatula from bottom to top to incorporate it, without rushing and with light movements 5. Butter and line a 12x16 inches baking tray with parchment paper. Then pour the batter into the tray 6.

Level the surface with a small spatula 7 and bake in a preheated static oven at 428°F for about 8-10 minutes: the surface should be golden 8. You can do the toothpick test before removing from the oven; remember that every oven is different, so yours may require more time or a slightly lower temperature. In the meantime, prepare a sheet of parchment paper and place it on the counter. As soon as you take the biscuit dough out of the oven, you will need to flip it onto the clean sheet of parchment paper 9.

Let it cool slightly before gently removing the sheet of parchment paper that was at the bottom of the tray 10. Then place it back over the biscuit dough and leave it like this until it cools completely 11. At that point, you can use the biscuit dough to fill and roll as you prefer 12!

Storage

Biscuit dough can be stored, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 1 day. However, we recommend preparing and filling it as soon as it cools.

It can be frozen once completely cooled.

Tip

Biscuit dough can be cut and used like sponge cake with pastry rings, as if it were a layer of sponge cake, for a layered cake.

If you want to make cocoa biscuit dough, you can follow the recipe using 1/4 cup of flour and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.

If you are concerned that the egg flavor might be too strong, flavor the batter with citrus zest, like lemon, for example, or add some ground cinnamon.

For a greater aroma and golden color, you can add a tablespoon of honey to the batter.
