Chocolate Frosted Christmas Cookies are the perfect chocolaty treat to share with friends and family this year!
Are you baking Christmas treats today? I am. My holiday baking list is long, and at the top are sugar cookies and homemade caramels — two classics I can’t skip for gift trays and parties. I always aim to get it all done, but the reality is I rarely finish every single thing on the list. Still, I try to prioritize the essentials and savor the process of holiday baking.
I adore sugar cookies, but sometimes I want something richer — more chocolate. That’s where these chocolate chocolate sugar cookies come in, dressed up for the holidays. They’re a festive variation on a familiar favorite, with deep chocolate flavor and a soft center.
The texture of these cookies differs slightly from a classic sugar cookie because the dough contains no eggs. The result is a cookie that’s crisp around the edges and tender inside. Stored in an airtight container, they actually become even softer and more enjoyable over a day or two. The chocolate frosting is smooth and buttery, providing a luscious contrast to the cookie’s crumb, and the finishing touch is a generous scattering of colorful holiday sprinkles.
Sprinkles have become a minor obsession in our house. My daughter Carly developed a full-on love for them: while I decorated the cookies she tried to scoop up any stray sprinkles, and when I finished I poured the remaining bits into a little cup for her to enjoy — with a spoon, of course. She was delighted. Now I have to make sure sprinkles are well hidden between baking sessions!
