So delicious that I even included this recipe in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/cookbook\/\">cookie cookbook<\/a> back in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies are chewy around the edges, yet soft in the center. Cocoa powder also infuses the cookie dough with chocolate-y flavor without altering the overall texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This chocolate sugar cookie base pairs well with just about any icing or frosting, be it plain or flavored. Change up the sprinkles on top to suit any occasion or holiday, and prepare to see your plate of cookies disappear! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of the ingredients needed for chocolate sugar cookies. \" class=\"wp-image-51121\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ingredients list for this recipe is almost identical to traditional sugar cookies, but with the addition of cocoa powder. I won&#8217;t go into detail about every ingredient that&#8217;s needed, but I&#8217;ll quickly review the main ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour: <\/strong>It&#8217;s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\">spoon and level your flour<\/a> or you will end up with dry cookie dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cocoa Powder: <\/strong>I used natural unsweetened cocoa powder, but it would be fine to use Dutch-processed as well. I explain more about the difference between both kinds of cocoa powder in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/natural-vs-dutch-process-cocoa-powder\/\">this post<\/a>. Nestle, Hershey&#8217;s, or even Rodelle are great options when it comes to cocoa powder!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>I recommend using unsalted butter to prevent your sugar cookies from being too salty. If you only have salted butter on hand, just omit the salt from the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar: <\/strong>This wouldn&#8217;t be a sugar cookie recipe without sugar! I used 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of sugar in this recipe, which I found to be the perfect amount to offset the bitter cocoa powder. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Icing: <\/strong>You can use any icing or frosting you like on these cookies, but my top choices are either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/easy-sugar-cookie-icing\/\">sugar cooking icing<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/royal-icing-recipe\/\">royal icing<\/a>. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/chocolate-buttercream-frosting\/\">chocolate frosting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/strawberry-frosting\/\">strawberry frosting<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/peanut-butter-frosting\/\">peanut butter frosting<\/a> would all work as well!  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"51122\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment from a stand mixer. \" class=\"wp-image-51122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"51116\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of the wet ingredients needed for sugar cookies in a mixing bowl, with a rubber spatula.  \" class=\"wp-image-51116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-1.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Chocolate Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make The Cookie Dough <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beat the softened butter and sugar until well combined.

If you use royal icing or sugar cookie icing as I recommended, you can freeze the cookies after the icing has hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use regular buttercream frosting, you can still freeze the cookies after being frosted but you&#8217;ll want to flash freeze them for an hour on a baking sheet to harden the frosting before sealing them in a zip-top bag. If you skip this step, the cookies will all stick together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of chocolate sugar cookies stacked on a wire cooling rack. \" class=\"wp-image-51118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Chocolate-Sugar-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-lightmint-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure your butter is softened and your egg is at room temperature before getting started.
