Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, melted
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Divide the dough in half.
In one half of the dough, stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate and cocoa powder until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out both the chocolate and vanilla dough portions into 1/4-inch thick rectangles of the same size. Chill the rolled dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Cut each rectangle into long, even strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Assemble the checkerboard pattern by alternately layering chocolate and vanilla strips, three layers high. Use a little water to help the strips stick together if necessary.
Wrap the assembled checkerboard log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the checkerboard log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your stunning Nestle Toll House Checkerboard Cookies!
