The Perfect Christmas Cookie Recipe
Making the Dough
To make these chocolate sugar cookies, you'll need butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and eggs. Begin by creaming together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Then, add in the cocoa powder and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Finally, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Chilling and Rolling the Dough
Once the dough is made, form it into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight if possible. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the dough easier to work with. When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking and Decorating
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, it's time to get creative with the decorations. Melt white chocolate and drizzle it over the cookies for a festive touch. Or, use red and green frosting to decorate the cookies with holiday designs. You can also sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for a delicious and crunchy addition.
The Finishing Touch
Once the decorations have set, it's time to indulge in these chocolatey delights. The rich cocoa flavor combined with the sweetness of the sugar cookies makes for the perfect holiday treat. These cookies also make great gifts, so why not package them in festive tins or boxes and share the joy with your friends and family?
Now that you have the recipe for these delicious chocolate sugar cookies, it's time to get baking and spread some Christmas cheer. Enjoy the warmth and sweetness of this festive treat and have a very merry Christmas!
