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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Gradually beat in the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Divide the dough in half.

Step 5

In one half of the dough, stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate and cocoa powder until well combined.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Cut each rectangle into long, even strips about 1/2 inch wide.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Wrap the assembled checkerboard log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 11

Slice the checkerboard log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 12

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.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your stunning Nestle Toll House Checkerboard Cookies!
