Description
Chocolate cut out sugar cookies are the perfect dessert to make for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party, or just want to make something special for your family, these cookies are sure to please. Not only are they delicious and eye-catching, they’re also easy to make and don’t require a lot of ingredients. These cookies are made with a rich and creamy chocolate cookie dough, which is then cut into whatever shapes you desire and decorated with colorful sprinkles or icing. The end result is a sweet and festive treat that everyone will love.
Ingredients
For the chocolate cookie dough, you’ll need: 1/2 cup of butter, softened; 1 cup of white sugar; 1 egg; 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; 1/2 cup of cocoa powder; 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda; and 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour. Additionally, you’ll need any decorations you wish to add, such as sprinkles or icing.
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well-combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick cookie dough forms. Once the dough is ready, roll it out onto a floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes and place them onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool before decorating with sprinkles or icing. Enjoy!
Equipment
To make this recipe, you’ll need a few basic kitchen tools, such as a large bowl, a whisk, a rolling pin, cookie cutters, a greased baking sheet, and an oven. You’ll also need an electric mixer, if you don’t want to cream the butter and sugar by hand.
Notes
When rolling out the cookie dough, make sure to add plenty of flour to your surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking. Additionally, when baking the cookies, be sure to keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary and you don’t want to over-bake them. The cookies should be just lightly browned when they come out of the oven.
