Checkerboard Cookie Tiles
I couldn't just crouch behind the toast rack forever while the sun was so bright. Slipping over to the wooden cart, I noticed a slab of chilled checkerboard icebox dough sitting on parchment. Shrimpo always claims precision is boring, but honestly, what does he know? My plush hands shook a bit, but Sprout always says steady pressure makes clean edges. Gripping a dull stainless steel butter knife with both hands, I sliced down firmly through the dough roll. The square grid of alternating chocolate and vanilla cubes held together perfectly without a single crumble. Let that loudmouth try to hit something this neat.
