Chocolate Sugar Cookies Recipe
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
-
Into a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed, beat butter and sugar for about 1½ minutes, or until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
-
Turn the mixer speed to low and carefully add the flour mixture a little at a time, occasionally stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl.
-
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured flat work surface to about ¼-inch thickness, using additional flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Use cookie cutters to create and place on cookie sheet.
-
Bake for 7-9 minutes.
-
Cool and frost!

Sugar cookies are always a favorite around Christmas time, but I love the idea of making a chocolate version for a twist on the original. Or, better yet, making a batch of these alongside a batch of regular sugar cookies. There is no such thing as too many cookies during the holiday season!
