All you need to make these delicious cookies are a few simple ingredients:
Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 3/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract at medium until well combined.
Add 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour & 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
Divide dough in about ½. In the slightly larger half, mix 3 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. Chill slightly, about an hour.
Shape 4 rectangle ropes of the white dough. Now shape 5 rectangle ropes out of the brown dough.
Stack the ropes to make the checkerboard pattern, alternating colors with brown, white, brown on bottom, next layer is white, brown, white and final layer is brown, white, brown again. Press together slightly to connect and keep shape. Chill 1-2 hours.
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Now slice the dough into cookies about 1″ each and place on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake 10 minutes.
Cool on cooling rack and store in airtight container.
