We're still in full holiday cookies baking season. Try these cute checkerboard cookies dipped in white chocolate!
It's T-9 days until Christmas! But that's still more than enough time to be baking cookies, packaging them up in cute boxes and tins, and passing them on to those favorite people in your life that do so much extra through the year.
I'm talking about teachers, neighbors, caregivers and first responders. These are just a handful of people who deserve a little cookie love during the holidays.
I think by baking homemade cookies, you're making more of a statement of appreciation than buying store-bought. These are really easy to make, even if they seem a little tricky trying to make them checkered. Let me show you how it's done!
How do I make my checkered holiday cookies?
You'll start off by making a regular old-fashioned sugar cookie recipe. Once you have that taken care off, split the dough into four evenly sized pieces. By adding food coloring to the cookie dough, you'll get that awesome Christmas look.
These sugar cookies are more towards the soft tasting than a crunchy cookie. I finished mine off by dipping one corner into some melted white chocolate and then adding some Christmas sprinkles.
You'll want to do this after you dip each cookie as the chocolate dries quickly and it becomes harder for the sprinkles to stay attached.
Buy yourself some Christmas boxes or cookie tins from Michaels or any craft store and add some green or red tissue. Place a few cookies into each tin and you have a cute and easy Christmas gift ready to be delivered! I guarantee they'll be well received.
These cookies will last 4-5 days in a sealed container at room temperature.
