How to Make Chocolate Christmas Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
