I'm novice at making anything other than chocolate chip cookies (What? I love them) and therefore not very practiced at working with this kind of dough and making the component strips as neatly as it seems you'd need to. So I’m a little intimidated to attempt this.

Have any of our readers ever attempted something like this? How’d it work out?
