These chocolate Viennese whirls are one of my favorite treats to make when I want something that looks fancy but doesn't require much fuss. With just fifteen minutes of prep time, you'll have elegant piped cookies ready for the oven, and they bake in just half an hour. I love using cocoa powder in these because it's packed with antioxidants and adds such a rich, deep chocolate flavor without being overly heavy. They're simple enough for a beginner baker but impressive enough to serve at tea time, and they won't break the bank either.
