How to Make Ultimate Chocolate Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  7. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, decorate as desired with frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings.
