Checkerboard cookies/ Christmas fun cookies

Checkerboard cookies are classic butter cookies made from vanilla and chocolate dough. They make a great Christmas cookie plate. They may look really sifisticated, but they come out really well with few simple tricks. IMPORTANT NOTES: ================== 1)We use granulated sugar (and not icing sugar), as we want our cookies to remain perfectly flat and square and not melted and puffed up. 2)We do not beat the sugar and butter for long time as in short bread cookies, again as we don't want to loose the shape of the cookies. 3)Further the egg too helps to give some support to the dough. 4)You could skip the salt if you are using salted butter. INGREDIENTS: FOR THE WHITE DOUGH: 1)butter 50 gm (at room temperature) 2)sugar 50 gm 3)beaten egg 1/2 4)all purpose flour 100 gm 5)vanilla essence few drops 6)salt a pinch FOR THE BROWN DOUGH: 1)butter 50 gm (at room temperature) 2)sugar 50 gm 3)beaten egg 1/2 4)all purpose flour 85 gm 5)cocoa powder 15 gm 6)vanilla essence few drops 7)salt a pinch And that's it!
