COOKIE DOUGH

1. dry ingredients
   • sift the cake flour, sift cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt
   • fully whisk them all together
2. wet ingredients
   • prepare another bowl, whisk butter and sugar together
   • when the mixture become creamy, add the egg, add the vanilla extra
   • mix them all together
3. mix dry and wet ingredients
   • when the dough is nicely combined, it can be shaped and put directly in the oven
   • or put in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes, it’ll be much easier to be shaped into any patterns you designed

COOKIE SHAPES

I divide the chocolate dough and vanilla dough into different-sized pieces, and then stick together based on the monogram types

CHECKERBOARD PATTERNS

1. cube to slices
   • have the vanilla cookie dough shaped in a cube and rectangular slices
   • have the chocolate cookie dough shaped in the same way
   • brush some water on the top of the dough surface, gently stick them together to create layers
2. slice to strips
   • divide each batch into four slices, brush some water again, reversely stick them together
   • now we can actually see the checkerboard patterns, they look just like Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene pattern
   • again, put them into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes
   • when the dough is chill enough, it can be directly divided into slices and baked
3. add a wrap
   • we can also prepare a flat dough, have the checkerboard dough wrapped by the flat dough to secure them sticked together
   • put them into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill again
4. final cookie cuts
   • now it’s the fun part, let’s divide each cube into 6 cookie slices, Voila~ canvas of Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene and Damier Azur are both beautifully created!

1. preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit)
2. baking for 10 minutes
