These cookies are great for getting kids involved in holiday baking. Serve these alongside my Homemade Oreo Christmas Cookies and Chocolate Christmas Smash Cake for the perfect Holiday party sweet spread! I made these cookies entirely by accident while attempting to create a recipe for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. These cookies are traditionally rolled in powdered sugar before baking. Giving them a lovely, snowy white surface. When creating and testing my recipe, I coated them in sugar, but when I baked them, they were coated in more of an icing. I’m guessing my recipe is too buttery to work with sugar, but these cookies were way too good not to share. So here they are! These Chocolate Christmas Cookies are like crisp little brownie cookies. These luxurious cookies are perfect for when only chocolate will do.
Step By Step Instructions
Start with melting the chocolate (for more information on how to properly melt chocolate, see my guide on How to Melt Chocolate). Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl, and add egg and vanilla extract. Add the chocolate. Combine the chocolate followed by the flour mixture mix to combine. Chill well (at least 2 hours). Place 1/2 cup of the sprinkles onto a plate. Roll the dough between your palms into 1-inch balls and roll into the sprinkles, and place onto a prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart Bake 12-14 minutes and let cool on the pan for five minutes before moving to a cooling rack. They make a wonderful holiday gift!
