Burnt chocolate cookies can make you shiver-and not in a good way. Just make sure to bake the cookies long enough (even if it feels as though they're taking forever), so that they are crispy on the edges, but not burnt. This will add to the baking time compared to other sugar cookie recipes, but it makes all the difference. It's all about the chilling the dough, rolling it and chilling again before cutting shapes, then chilling (almost freezing) the shapes before baking. Although the recipe helps keeps them from expanding, it's the process that is key, in my opinion. (You can learn about how to do that in the same post). I love the visual of a pastel icing or fondant on a deep, dark cookie and, just as the vanilla version, they are perfect for cookie pops too. Doesn't the cookie dough look so dark and decadent? As for decorating these, anything goes of course. And just like that they are the deepest of chocolate with the same delightful buttery, slightly-crispiness as the vanilla version. So when I make the chocolate version, I use almost the same recipe, but I add some extra sugar (brown), premium dark cocoa powder, and an extra egg to make up for it. If you've read my previous post about The Perfect Sugar Cookie (and Cookie Pop), you know that I have a best-loved vanilla sugar cookie recipe (and technique for rolling and baking to ensure they keep their shape). It has to buttery, slightly crispy, full of either pure vanilla or deep dark chocolate flavour, and absolutely must keeps its shape when baked. That's not to say I love every sugar cookie, but the right sugar cookie has my heart. Variation is great too, but in the end I just love a perfect little sugar cookie. Don't you? My favourite cookies to make, bake and create with are sugar cookies. I've officially got the November-but-soon-to-be-December-cookie-making itch. ![]()
