The Rich, Chocolatey Version of Classic Sugar Cookies (with Chocolate Icing!)

[@maryjensen4586]

This is not a comment for this cookie, but rather for two of your other recipes. Just wanted to give you a shout out because your apple pie cheesecake recipe won me first place at our church bake-off, and your strawberry Pop Tart cookies just won for my daughter at a work cookie competish! So appreciate the WONDERFUL recipes. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SugarSpunRun]

That’s so awesome! I’m so glad they’ve been such a hit! 😊

[@donnaniemer6307]

I roll out my cookie dough between 2 sheets of parchment so no problem of extra flour. I also substitute 2 TBS of corn starch for 2 TBS flour. Keeps edges of cookies crisp and clean

[@brendaramsbottom8693]

I always wondered why they always had to be vanilla flavoured sugar cookies instead of chocolate but now I find chocolate it’s just like heaven on earth!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can never go wrong with chocolate!

[@loreleiford700]

I like to roll my cut out cookie dough between 2 pieces of lightly floured wax paper. It makes it so I don’t have to use as much flour, therefore my re-rolled cookie dough stays tender.

[@SugarSpunRun]

That's a great tip, I'll have to try that!

[@robynmoodley4223]

Thank you for the tip😊

[@lh824]

I use a silicone mat whenever I need to roll something (cookies, pie crust, puff pastry) out. No extra flour is needed - the mat works beautifully every time!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Great idea!

[@brendaramsbottom8693]

@@lh824 I have a silicone Mat and apparently I thought I needed two because two came from Amazon 😳

[@lh824]

​@brendaramsbottom8693 are congrats are in order? Hopefully Amazon gifted the 2nd mat to you 😊

[@libbyjensen1858]

I love your recipes! I've always loved to bake but am horrible at cookies. After watching several of your videos I've learned what I was doing wrong and now I'm baking more cookies-which my family is VERY happy to see! I tried your whipped butter shortbread cookies yesterday and they FLEW off the plate when I was done! Hands down, my family's newest, favorite shortbread recipe. Thanks for making my family happy! LOL!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re so welcome! I’m so glad I could help you bake cookies your family loves! 😊

[@robinriffle16]

I love that you're showing us a chocolate sugar cookie recipe it breaks up the monotony of just the regular sugar cookies. I'm very excited to try this recipe. Thank you

[@heidid5275]

Mmmm, chocolate! Love the stars! Merry Christmas, Sam and fam. 🎄⛄️❤️

[@SugarSpunRun]

Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@beuba5938]

I make it every year…both your sugar cookies (chocolate and regular)! They are AWESOME 🙌♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoy them so much! 😊

[@beavaness8742]

Your recipes are great. Thanks Sam.☺ Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re so welcome! Happy Holidays to you too! 😊

[@TiffanyTaylor-423]

Perfect idea! Different and looks delicious. My family has a cookie competition on Christmas. I think I found the cookie for the win 😊 TY

[@SugarSpunRun]

Good luck with the competition! I hope you win! 😊

[@myhomecookingrecipes7839]

Wow looking so delicious and beautiful recipe my dear friend

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoy them! 😊

[@sylvialazaro6411]

Good advice to weigh your eggs. Alot of times companies will pack Xtra large eggs into large egg containers.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It can definitely make a difference!

[@dmytladybugwilkins5784]

I made these and they are delicious! Not too sweet, just right.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed them!

[@hollyboatright2136]

I am looking forward to trying this recipe out! Thank you for sharing.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! 😊

[@EcoFarmFL]

Girl your recipes are ALWAYS a HIT every darn time! THANK YOU! Also I'm starting up making $$ selling my baked goods. I always put my own spins on them to make them personal and different too.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you are enjoying everything so much! I wish you a lot of success! :)

[@pegsmith1110]

These look yummo! Merry Christmas!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Merry Christmas to you too! I hope you enjoy them!

[@MusicDad0623]

[@Trina_White]

[@Billy33753]

Looks delicious

[@kellyr6274]

🤗ty Sam looking forward to trying these! Blessings to you and your family 🎄❄️ btw, your pumpkin cheesecake bars turned out amazing for the friends I made them for so ty! 🤗🙂

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad to hear you loved the pumpkin cheesecake bars! 😊 Thank you so much for trusting and trying my recipes! 💕

[@wintergreen1162]

Hahahaha! I made that pumpkin cheesecake for thanksgiving, and everyone loved it, and my daughter made the sugar cookies a couple of months ago, and they were DELICIOUS! I didn’t realize we were both watching the same channel, because I just asked her to forward me that recipe while I was watching this video so I could make a batch for Christmas! Amazing recipes, this gal is better than a fat, old, seasoned baker!

[@joycedwyer8778]

Can’t wait to make these

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! 😊

[@francesmorgan6397]

I love chocolate n I'm gonna make these they look delicious 😋 cookie list long.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! 😊

[@brendas1188]

Would you be willing to share which brand of cocoa powder you use? Looks delicious and thanks for sharing!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I typically use Hershey or Ghirardelli. 😊

[@brendas1188]

Thank you!

[@rfl734]

That looks good

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! 😊

[@maxfulmer3193]

I roll my dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. No flour and no sticking

[@vickispleas5911]

I followed the recipe. My cookies got rock hard

[@SugarSpunRun]

Baked too long :(

[@jonelleadrianoblepias4848]

looks delicious😊😊 i want to ask what should i do if my frosting is not setting even after many hours?i do the same ingridients like yours

[@SugarSpunRun]

Usually, if it’s taking that long for the icing to set it was too wet when it was made and just needed more sugar :(

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

These look delicious! So if I understand correctly, these are stackable? I need to make these also!❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

They are stackable after the frosting sets up. 😊

[@margaretcroghan5959]

Greetings from Ireland and thank you for sharing. Would it last a few days in the fridge 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

These will be good for 4-5 days at room temperature in an air tight container. :)

[@msladybugbubbles]

I want to make regular sugar cookies with your chocolate icing 🤭

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yummm great idea!

[@tracitalbot4270]

These look great! I love chocolate! Question: Do you ever bloom your cocoa powder and do you think it helps the flavor?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I do often when it makes sense, it doesn’t really work nicely in this particular recipe but I do it often with cakes, muffins, etc :)

[@Furrykids16]

Yummy 🤤🤤

[@libby_m_nehring]

What are those mixing bowls?! Love how deep they are.

[@SugarSpunRun]

They are actually made by Anchor Hocking. :)

[@libby_m_nehring]

@ Ty so much!

[@sg30008]

Awighty Sam..here is the DL😂..made these few days ago..i use Pernigotti cocoa pwd..found the cookies to b a lil intense cld b the cocoa pwd..so decided not to ice them..yesterday went ahead with ur icing..and omg..what a huge difference its made..they r yum..and also all gone..i got a whopping 66 cookies from this recipe..thinly rolled..cut with a round fluted edge cutter..thanx as usual..❤ God Bless n Happy Holidays ..🌲🙌

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)

[@jennifercoleman6947]

Would sifting the cocoa powder and the powdered sugar together make it easier(smoother) to incorporate the rest of the ingredients and result in a silkier consistency??

[@SugarSpunRun]

For the frosting you could definitely do that :)

[@jennifercoleman6947]

@ Thank you 😊 they look delicious! I’ve been asked to do a cookie tray this year and I’m going to try yours!

[@TheJarheadwife]

I saw a double asterisk by the vanilla extract in the ingredients but couldn’t find it in your notes. Can you tell me why there is a double asterisk?

[@denisemorris4301]

Do you do a gingerbread cookie?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Here you go! sugarspunrun.com/gingerbread-men/ I also have soft ginger snaps as well as crispy ginger snaps as well. You can find all of the videos on my channel and recipes on my site. 😊

[@mjplaza5506]

Can the corn syrup be replaced by maple syrup for the icing?

[@SugarSpunRun]

It won't set up quite the same. I would just omit the corn syrup. Your frosting won't be as shiny though.

[@MyName-zd9pe]

I heard you can use powdered sugar instead of flour when rolling out your cookies, you try it?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I feel like the added sugar to the dough would make the cookies spread and could change the texture.

[@MyName-zd9pe]

@SugarSpunRun I didn't think about that, thanks. ☺️

[@christinebornholdt5189]

Can you use cocoa powder instead of flour to roll out dough?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually talk about this in the video, I personally don’t recommend it

[@christinebornholdt5189]

@ sorry I sent question before watching entire video. Thank you.

[@djyoutubeh3]

next time Sam can you use a spoon to mix the batter in bowl? 🥄🥄🥣🥣😏

[@SugarSpunRun]

It’s a stiff dough and the butter needs to be creamed with the sugar so while it could be done it’s a lot more effort and harder to do

[@shalon4jc2]

Are these cookies soft or crunchy/hard?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can make them either way actually! Roll them thicker and bake slightly less time for soft and chewy. Thinner will give you crispier cookies! 😊

[@innocentrage1]

Patrick stars long lost cousin

[@pattimincher4201]

My cookie list ju😢st keeps getting longer

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sounds like a great problem to have! Time to start baking! 😊

[@paulmazzola398]

Looks yummy!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

I wouldn't use a whisk to make the icing. A spoon is much easier. Nice biscuit.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Enjoy!

[@ValNaidoo-p6c]

Sam, you don't ever use your stand mixer. Please donate to me 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

😂

[@kenmoreSF]

where are you little tasters?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Probalby running around torturing each other. 🤣

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

Samantha, your chocolate frosting enrobement skills are first rate! I can see a bright future for you with the Keebler elves if you ever decide to pivot away from this KZbin thing. My only concern is whether or not you would fit inside their workshop because it’s in a tree and it’s kind of small because they’re diminutive little fellers. Maybe, you can invite all of the elves to work in your kitchen instead since you have so much space. Just please make sure that your dog knows the elves are not chew toys!

[@SugarSpunRun]

😂😂 It would be really risky for the elves, my lab would definitely try to sample them, but I’ll reach out to them 😂

[@sparky1274]

The milk won't change in flavor in the icing after a few days?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Nope!
