What could be better than a frosted sugar cookie? A chocolate frosted sugar cookie! I’m a firm believer that chocolate makes anything better.
Chocolate Sugar Cookies:
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup baking cocoa
- 1 TBSP baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter (softened_
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 TBSP milk
Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, and milk until well combined. In a separate bowl stir together the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture.
On a lightly floured surface roll out 1/3 of dough until 3/8 inch thick. Use desired cookie cutter and place cut outs on cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes until just set and cookies are barely cracked. Transfer cookies onto cooling rack and allow to completely cool before frosting.
To make frosting, mix butter and add cream cheese. Add remaining ingredients and beat together with mixer. Continue to mix until light and smooth. Add food coloring if desired. Add to cooled cookies and top off with sprinkles.
