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

2. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and add the cacao powder and milk to one part.

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!
