Meet my easy Checkerboard Cookies made from scratch. I’ll show you how to create that beautiful criss-cross pattern using two simple cookie doughs.
Not only are they surprisingly easy to make, but their buttery texture will have everyone reaching for just one more cookie.
Their beautiful design consists of sweet vanilla cookie dough and chocolate orange cookie dough. And the checkerboard effect is so much easier to make than you’d think!
