Chocolate cookies for cookie cutters? Absolutely! Not only is it possible, they are easy and delicious.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup cocoa powder - try Genie's Dream Cocoa No 3 Ultra!
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 - 3 1/2 cups flour (start with 3 and if your dough seems too sticky add more)

Directions

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar.
Add eggs, vanilla, and corn syrup to mixer. Mix at low speed until fully blended.
In a separate bowl sift together all dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, one cup at a time with your mixer on low, until all are incorporated. This dough may not pull away completely from the sides the way my sugar cookie recipe does when it is mixed - it is a stickier dough.
Separate your dough into 3 equal balls. Roll out each ball to about a 1/4" thickness between sheets of wax paper - leave between wax paper.
You can stack these "flats' of dough on top of each other, and on top of a cookie sheet. Then chill these "flats" of dough for at least an hour before baking. This is a soft dough, so chilling will help in cutting your shapes, and enabling them to keep their shape as you transfer them to your baking sheet.
Be sure to use parchment paper or a Silpat mat on your baking sheets to keep your cookies from burning.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size of your cookie. Place similar sized cookies on cookie sheets together to bake evenly.

Recipe Note

Note: It can be difficult to tell if these cookies are done because of their dark color. The best way to check if they are cooked is by observing the tops of the cookies, when they are done the centers will be just the tiniest bit puffy, and the edges will appear slightly dry.

I made these once before and it was amazing. It’s been years though, so my quesuon is, was it always with the ultra dark chocolate powder? Can’t remember. Is that the best one to buy for this recipe? Thanks!

The Cookie Countess replied:
So glad you love this recipe, Carrie! Yes, we always recommended the ultra dark cocoa powder for that delicious brownie-like flavor, but if you don’t have or can’t get Genie’s Dream Cocoa No. 3, you can use any other high-quality cocoa powder. Happy baking!

I only used 3 cups of flour and they were super dry and tasted mostly like flour. I think I would remake this recipe with 2 1/2 or even 2 cups. Not sure what happened. I had all the ingredients on hand so it was easy for my daughter and I to whip up on a rainy afternoon!

The Cookie Countess replied:
Not any faster than a normal sugar cookie, no.

This is an awesome recipe, we’ve made it twice this halloween season, about to make another batch for christmas today

Laura - December 2, 2022
Can you use light corn syrup?
———
The Cookie Countess replied:
Hi Laura! This recipe uses dark corn syrup because of the molasses it contains. You could definetly try to make it with light corn syrup, I would just recommend adding in a little tiny bit of molasses to even everything out.
