Sjakkruter

Today we have baked sjakkruter, or chezz cookies. These cookies we used to make at home back in the days. The recipe is found on the internet, while we are waiting to find grandmothers authentic one.

400 gr butter
150 gr sugar
600 gr flour
3 tablespoons of cocoa
11/2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar

Blend butter, sugar and flour well together with your hands. Cut the dough in two similar pieces. Put vanilla sugar in one of them, and cocoa in the other. Then split both of the pieces in two so you now have four similar sized pieces. Roll them up in four long rolls, and stack them on top of each other, a white and brown on the bottom, and a white and a brown opposite on top.

Now put these rolls in a cold place for a couple of hours.



Spread them on as many cooking plates you need (about four for this recipe), and cook them at 200° for 8 min.



Enjoy these cookies with a nice cup of espresso, or dip them in a caffe latte.
