OR
Do you use the chocalate dough but skip the cocoa powder

My teenaged daughter made these checkerboard cookies and we put them in Christmas gift baskets for family. They can’t stop emailing and texting about these cookies and how they want more.

Hi Lala ~ Yes, you can use your stand mixer for all of my cookie recipes. They will then look different and have a different consistency, but will taste the same. I like a more dense cookie, rather than fluffy. Most of my cookie recipes are from the 1950’s and we used wooden spoons or forks to mix our dough. If you make any of my recipes, I hope you let me know how they turned out. Lynne xo

I notice that most of your mixing, you use a fork, can I use a Kitchenaid with this cookie and the others where you’ve used a fork to mix. Thanks.

Hi again,

The recipe was great, although I probably need to practise a little bit – they didn’t come out as perfect as yours.

Hi Anja ~ Thanks for stopping by. The recipes are correct, the baking soda is only in the Chocolate Dough. If you make these cookies, I hope you will let me know how they turn out. Lynne xo

Is it a mistake that it’s only the Chocolate Cookie Dough that has baking soda in it?

Just tried this and my vanilla dough turned out too wet (they were in the refrigerator overnight). They don’t look like checkerboards but still taste great :]

These are simply gorgeous – I’m only (THREE) months away from getting my oven back, and I’m already looking forward to trying this. Looks like you’re a very meticulous person. Those lines are precise!!!!

I have a recipe for these cookies and I’ve yet to attempt it – but they are so beautiful that I may just have to try them!!
