Tips on Spiral Cookies?

[tessspark]

I have been wanting to do a spiral cookie for so long, however they seem really difficult to make. I feel like the step of transfer (putting one square of dough on the other in order to prepare the roll, and thus the swirl/spiral). Do you have any tips of the transfer and how to make sure that the dough doesn't crack or get crumpled?

Looking forward to your responses!

I think these kind of cookies should have a pretty significant amount of butter, that will keep them from cracking too much. You'll want to cut them while they are cold so that the butter keeps them very firm, to retain the shape. I haven't made this kind before, but I've made short bread cookies which were also cut. You just slice and set on the cookies sheet. If it's not too soft it shouldn't be that hard.
