Swedish checkerboard cookies (Schackrutor)

Schackrutor is a popular Swedish cookie that resembles a checkerboard or chessboard.

These are buttery, shortbread-like cookies made by combining two different colored doughs, usually vanilla and chocolate, to create a distinctive checkered appearance. Making schackrutor involves rolling out each dough into a square or rectangular shape, stacking them, and then slicing the stacked dough into smaller squares or rectangles.
