Neapolitan Checkerboard Cookies | Sue Li | NYT Cooking

A chocolate, strawberry and vanilla pound cake was one of Sue Li’s favorite childhood treats. In these Neapolitan Checkerboard Cookies, it grows up. The three doughs come together simply in a food processor, then they’re cut and stacked into a checkerboard pattern for cookies that both the young and young at heart can love.

WE NEED MORE SUE LI, SHE’S THE BEST!!!!

[@stuartwhite6869]

Give Sue her own series. She's so relatable and accessible for home bakers. And hilarious.

[@stargirliexoxo]

Absolutely love Sue's self deprecating personality! She makes me laugh with her chaoticness and humour!

[@janet9721]

Inspired to make these based on Sue’s video, clear instructions, tips and recommendations, the cookies came out delicious and looked just like the photos.

[@dannyk3059]

glad to see everyone else in the comments agree the sue li is a great on-screen personality to do this. she’s informative, seems very patient and helpful, and turned a daunting recipe-on-paper, something many home bakers would avoid, into something that seems attainable. I would watch any video with her.

[@m.macdonald]

Sue is so fun. Definitely making these.

[@dingle117]

Sue Li makes NYT Cooking feel not stuffy and it's the best.

[@charlesbryant6889]

Sue Li is great. Wonderful presentation with the right mix of education and entertainment. I really felt smarter and will make these cookies. More Sue Li please!

[@b_leigh]

Sue is so supportive and relatable!! I’m super excited to try these!!

[@kk13061]

I love how she was cheering on even when something went wrong, it can be scary when the thing you are making doesn't match the description. However, she sweetly says its okay to make mistakes and they will turn out fine, absolutely love her!!

[@conniehuynh5531]

“Nobody is watching you make this…except for right now” 😂😂😂 I loved watching this!

[@sueannesullivan3827]

This recipe looks great and I really enjoyed Sue!! I would love to see more of her!

[@kyleminor]

Sue: doesn't want to be on camera Us: WE NEED MORE SUE ON CAMERA PLEASE AND THANK YOU

[@jacforswear18]

She is so delightful to watch! I'm selfishly thankful that one of the dough slabs broke in the video, because Sue was so calm about it and I absolutely would have panicked while making these if I didn't see her power through. lol

[@MaureenDrees]

Sue Li makes these feel very approachable, thank you.

[@cristrivera]

"Stop looking at me" story of my life😂😂 Introverts unite💪

[@Kennikus]

"Stop looking at me!!" lolol so adorable, thanks Sue Li.

[@simnzu5565]

ALWAYS excited for Sue Li videos!!

[@Chrispppp]

Sue Li is so FUNNYY we need more of herrrr!!!

[@premtumkosit7412]

Love Sue Li! She’s the best and her recipes are amazing!

[@TheSimplydar]

we stan with a no small talk queen. These are so cute

[@jsimon9353]

At first they seem like a lot of work but it actually turned out to not be that bad. Could just make the dough on a worknight then assemble and bake another day. I'll be giving these a try!

[@joes2596]

Sue Li is an absolute icon!

[@PlantNative]

MORE OF HER! I really like her personality!

[@MicheMunro]

These look absolutely darling, I need to make these for my loved ones this Christmas!! Thank you Sue for a fabulous recipe!!

[@bonnieding9665]

First video I've seen with Sue Li and holy cow I love her 😍

[@Bakamoichigei]

Thank you so much for this! I just recently started baking--thanks in no small part to an early Black Friday deal fulfilling my years-long desire to own a right-proper stand mixer--and one of the first things I made was some really fantastic sugar cookies... I started thinking about ways to zhuzh it up, and making something like this was what immediately came to mind. Definitely agree with so many of the comments; Sue is _delightful,_ and NYT should find any excuse to have her do more videos! 😃👍

[@caramel_salt]

Sue is soooo funny! And so reassuring - I will hear her telling me "Don't worry!" while I bake her recipe at home.

[@TomatoDreams]

“Nobody’s like watching you make this…except right now. 😳” God I love Sue!

[@birgitknutsen8618]

Sue - you are a joy to watch! And a great teacher! More Sue!

[@musicismylove92]

Sue Li videos always make me smile! These look so beautiful!

[@caseykaul3752]

My grandmother made a very similar cookie for the holidays and I have been looking for a way to recreate such a nostalgic moment. Thank you!! Sue is just the absolute best!!

[@kmmyers]

Wow! Please give Sue Li her own baking show!

[@heatherwinter6979]

This is my introduction to Sue Li and WHAT A TREAT! Instructional with that perfect touch of humor. Love!!

[@elenayee3093]

My fave flavors! Also, I love your calm and authentic energy!

[@davidcacopardo8218]

What a delight! Thank you Sue. You've got great style and I have to try making these!

[@jesstucker6201]

this could translate as a bit finicky if you're not used to involving a ruler in your baking, but the entire process seems really meditative to me above all else, it begs you to take your time with it. and the fact that you get over SIXTY cookies' worth of dough as a result is fabulous!!!! three logs of dough oh my god!!!!

[@ruthshores7400]

Loved watching Sue Li create this absolutely beautiful cookie! Can't wait to make it and feel confident after watching her show us how to do this...with patience and humor! Well done!

[@CLB30ROX]

I am SO making these this week. They look SO GOOD 👍🏽

[@tbloembergen]

They look amazing and I loved your realness on camera, thanks!

[@SittingJonathan]

Sue warms my heart

[@drwilliamsharp]

A delight to watch. Love Sue Li. Hope to see more. Might try these for the holidays.

[@Momsgottaeat]

[@Alex-vj1tj]

These look SO SO GOOD, I can't wait to try making them

[@user-nr1vq3lx2t]

I love it. Thanks for sharing

[@user-xw4mm7yf8s]

Amazing. So excited to make these.

[@williammalluege-su8368]

Delightful, Sue. Keep coming with childhood inspiration, visually & gastronomically appealing treats, and how-to, encouraging videos for all of us fans watching on our phones!

[@bfranklin1052]

Loved this. So relaxing to watch and what a great cookie for Xmas!

[@tayloris1inamillion]

This is such a creative cookie recipe. And it looks so pretty at the end

[@nicki66]

Wow! I am absolutely trying these…more please!

[@reneeredding4861]

I am going to make these. You make it seem not so daunting. I really like that you left in the broken pieces so we see that even professionals have accidents. Thank you! :)

[@BenthicFern]

Super sweet video, excited about baking these! Love her personality!💕

[@CharlieCabralos]

These look awesome and fun to make!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

OMG THANK YOU FOR THESE 👏🏽

[@jet687]

Resting cookie dough(s) during holiday baking season is the best! You make the dough in advance and just get to baking when it's time.

[@liselotteamblat6953]

Incredible ! Sweet, professional and delicious looking cookies, will try and make them!

[@merushisan]

Made these and they’re so good!!

[@amandaqueen4719]

They look amazing, I can't wait to try the recipe.

[@susanpilling8849]

Reminds me a bit of my favourite Battenburg cake. That's pink and white wrapped in almond paste. Delicious! I'll definitely be giving these a try.

[@purplecaitta]

Simply nothing like opening KZbin and being presented with a fresh new Sue Li vid!!!

[@meg7527]

I want to watch this video 10 times. She is lovely! I usually shy away from a recipe that seems this involved, but she has convinced me to give it a try.

[@atron.studios598]

Stunning! Can’t wait to make them for the holidays (and eat almost all of them myself)

[@marksanchez3379]

Sue is adorable! So is this cookie. It will be included on my Cookie Plate s this year! Brava!!

Pretty genius! I'm not sure I have the patience to make these, but would certainly enjoy admiring and eating them. :)
