Checkerboard cookies

When I saw these cookies on Elissa’s blog at 17 and Baking I knew I had to make them.  These are everything I look for in a recipe to shoot.  Interesting looking, easy arrangement, not going to wilt, wither or die on me if it takes an hour to shoot… it’s a perfect food to shoot!  I did have a bit of trouble with these the first time and Elissa was kind enough to give me a few tips.  Thanks!!

These are old fashioned cookies.  They aren’t super sugary or sweet but they have that great old world taste.  They look amazing and everyone wants to try them.
