The Perfect Dark Chocolate Sugar Cookie

The Perfect Dark Chocolate Sugar Cookie is crisp and buttery with a rich, chocolate flavor. My kids love them just as they are for an after-school treat and I love to have some on hand when friends stop by for coffee – coffee and dark chocolate – Yum! You can also get creative with your choice of cookie cutters and colorful icings for a perfect holiday cookie with the extra treat of dark chocolate!

To make these, cream the butter and sugars together and then add eggs, dry ingredients, and vanilla. Divide the dough, wrap in plastic and chill. Roll out dough, chill again, cut out shapes and transfer to a cookie sheet. After a final chilling to ensure cookies maintain their shape, bake, then cool on racks.

To make The Perfect Dark Chocolate Sugar Cookie, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make The Perfect Dark Chocolate Sugar Cookie

1	CREAM BUTTER, SUGARS, AND EGGS	5
Place 2 cups butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar in a mixer with a paddle attachment and beat until light and creamy. Add 3 eggs and mix until combined. Add in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and blend.
2	COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS	1
In a separate bowl, sift together 6 cups flour, 1 ¼ cups cocoa, and a teaspoon of salt.
3	ADD DRY INGREDIENTS TO BATTER	1
Add flour mixture to the batter and beat on low speed until there are no streaks.
4	DIVIDE AND CHILL DOUGH	45
Divide the dough in two, wrap each dough ball in plastic and press into 2-inch thick rounds. Chill for 45 minutes.
5	PREPARE TO ROLL OUT DOUGH	1
Remove dough rounds one at a time. Take off the plastic, place on a sheet of parchment, then cover with another sheet of parchment. You can dampen the underside of the first parchment sheet to keep it from sliding.
6	ROLL OUT DOUGH AND CHILL	15
Roll the dough to an even ¼-inch thickness and chill for 15 minutes.
7	CUT OUT COOKIE SHAPES AND FREEZE	5
Take out the rolled-out dough and cut out your favorite shapes. Place the cut-out shapes back onto the cookie sheet lined with parchment leaving 2 inches between cookies and freeze for 15 minutes.
8	PREHEAT OVEN
Preheat the oven to 325 °F.
9	BAKE COOKIES	16
Bake for 16 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to crisp.
10	COOL ON RACK
Cool cookie sheets on racks for a few minutes, then carefully slide the cookies off to finish cooling directly on the racks.
11	SERVE
Serve with coffee or tea and enjoy!
