A delicious chocolaty cookies with an easy to make icing!! Shape them to anything you want and with any holidays. Here’s the 10th recipe of 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COOKIES!!!
Chocolate cookies and icing! Can’t go wrong with that!! Friends of mine always laugh when I say “This recipe is really simple to make!!” But some recipes are really simple!! Here’s one of them!!
Out of all the holidays in a year, I think Christmas is the time where butter is sold the most. So many families are making cookies, to share, to eat, and to try new recipes. I usually buy my butter before Thanksgiving, because that’s usually when they are on half price. So I go to my grocery store andget my haul!!
My heart is just bursting with joy whenever I see this picture!!! I think it’s the most beautiful picture in the world!! ????? It really doesn’t take much to make a baker happy. Well, let me correct that. It takes about 20 packs of butter to make a baker happy!!??????????
Before you preheat your oven, and before you get your mixer out, prepare the dry ingredients first. Whisking all your dry ingredients in a bowl is the step that I always before I start creaming my butter. A little mise en place goes a long way!
As usual, cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. The butter mixture will be smooth.
After you add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, shape your dough into a disc. Then wrap it with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
On a lightly flour surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Then using the cookie cutter with the shape that you want, cut the cookie out.
To lift the cookie out, you can use a fish spatula so that the cookies will stay intact.
Bake for about 11 minutes, cool, and enjoy. This cookie is great as is, but if you like icing on your cookies, I have the Royal Icing recipe at the end of the recipe.
Have fun making this easy-to-make Chocolate Cut-out Cookies!
Happy baking!!!
