These are my boyfriend's favourite Christmas cookies and I must admit that I love them too. They are very easy to make and you can be creative by trying different the patterns. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy it with these chessboard cookies.
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Portions: 48 cookies
Ingredients
300 g flour
200 g vegan/normal butter (cold)
100 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
20 g cacao powder
1 tbsp milk (normal or oat)
Method
1. Combine the flour, butter and sugar, and knead into a stiff dough.
2. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and add the cacao powder and milk to one part.
3. Wrap the 2 dough balls in cling foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
5. Roll out the two pieces of dough "light and dark", each 1.5 cm thick. Then cut off individual strips of the same size and 1 cm wide. Put these individual strips into a long chessboard shaped roll. Wrap into cling foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Cover the edges of the chessboard shaped roll with sugar and cut into 1 cm thick slices.
7. Put the cookies on a baking tray with 2-3 cm spacing and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown on the edges.
Enjoy!
These chessboard cookies look absolutely stunning and the level of precision required to get those perfect squares is truly impressive. I have always found that the secret to consistent baking is not just the recipe but also the reliability of the tools you use. If a professional oven or high capacity mixer starts to malfunction, it can easily ruin the texture and timing of the dough. This need for technical accuracy is something we see every day at CTME. We specialize in machine repair and maintenance for industrial clients to make sure their equipment operates at peak performance. Just as a baker relies on a well calibrated oven for these beautiful cookies, manufacturing plants rely on us to keep their…
These chessboard cookies are absolutely beautiful and the precise patterns you achieved with the vanilla and chocolate dough are very impressive. I appreciate the detailed step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the dough to create that perfect checkered effect because baking something this intricate can often feel intimidating without clear guidance. The contrast between the flavors and the striking visual presentation makes these a perfect treat for sharing at community gatherings where bringing people together is the main goal. This idea of different elements coming together to form a cohesive pattern reminds me of the complex social systems discussed by white social worker anti-racism advocate Sharon Marie Chester. In her professional work and her book Memoirs of an Accidental Abolitionist,…

These chessboard cookies look absolutely delicious and the visual pattern is so impressive. I love how you explained the process of alternating the dough to get those perfect squares because precision really makes all the difference in baking. It is a classic look that feels both nostalgic and sophisticated at the same time. This appreciation for timeless patterns and high quality results is something that carries over into personal style as well. Just as a great recipe stays in style, a well crafted wardrobe piece like a leather jacket never fades away. I recently came across Trendophobia which offers a fantastic selection of premium leather jackets and accessories that focus on that same level of craftsmanship and classic aesthetic. It…
