Checkerboard Cookies Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here:

Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Checkerboard Cookies. Besides being a great looking cookie, I love how Checkerboard Cookies give you both a chocolate and a vanilla cookie in one. Unlike most Checkerboard Cookies that have just four squares (two white and two chocolate), this recipe has a more complex checkerboard design with 24 squares (12 white and 12 chocolate). While a little more time consuming to make, the results are simply amazing.
