Chocolate Spritz Cookies
Chocolate Spritz Cookies are a chocolate version of your favorite classic butter spritz cookie. They can be decorated with festive sprinkles or with crushed peppermint!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature (2 sticks )
- 1/2 cup confectioners/powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons creme de cacao or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- optional decorations: sprinkles (crushed peppermint, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Beat butter with a stand or electric mixer on medium-high for 30 seconds. Add sugars and cocoa powder until combined.
- Beat in egg yolk, milk (or creme de cacao), and vanilla. Add flour.
- Use a cookie press or roll dough in small balls and flatten slightly. Place 1-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Decorate as desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown (this sounds kind of odd since they are brown cookies, but you get the idea).
- Remove from sheets and cool on a rack.
