Mini Checkerboard Cookies

Checkerboard cookies is always on my to-do baking list. Here it goes. This is a failed one actually, cos it has only 4 instead of 9 combination. I changed it in the beginning because my dough fail to stick. It will only stick to 4, 4 it is. Mini checkerboard cookies then. Haha. =P

Ingredients:
"Black" Dough:
60g butter
30g sugar
1/2 egg
20g milk
90g cake flour
20g cocoa powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract

"White" Dough:
60g butter
30g sugar
1/2 egg
20g milk
110g cake flour
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Steps:
1. Beat the butter, sugar and egg till combine. Add in milk and then the dry mixture and mix till combines. It is the same for both dough. Shape each dough into rectangular log shape. Wrap with cling wrap and put in the freezer for 1-2 hours. (Is a MUST!)
2. Take it out and cut into 4 square small long logs. Assemble alternately with one black dough and one white dough (as seen in the picture above). Wrap with cling wrap again and put in freezer for another 1-2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut the firm cookie dough into 1-inch cookie, and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cookies.
4. Cool completely on wire rack and enjoy!

The shape is not very pretty, because I did not push the dough against each other firmly, so it shows a little broken. Be sure to push them towards each other to form a nice, clean checkerboard cookie dough before putting it into the freezer at the second time.

Happy baking =)
