I'm always looking for tasty, easy cookies that can be whipped up for special occasions. These are a perfect hit - the chocolate version of my favorite frosted sugar cookies. These are a perfect, easy treat to whip up for Valentine's day! Enjoy!!!
Chocolate Frosted Sugar Cookies!
Makes ~20 cookies (fewer for larger cookies, more for smaller cookies)
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicon liner.
In a large bowl, whisk together:
1 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix
1/2 cup cocoa powder (a lighter one is best)
1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Beat in a mixer until fluffy:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Add, mixing until evenly combined:
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic wrap until ~1/4" - 3/8" thick. Cut shapes as desired with cookie cutters.

3" cookies ready for baking.
Place cookies 1-2" apart on parchment paper-lined pan. Bake at 375 F for ~6-8 minutes. These cook very quickly and are nice and soft. If you want them crispier, you can cook them an additional 1-2 minutes. 
Cookies after 7 minutes of cooking.
Let cool on cooling rack and then top with the Chocolate Marshmallow Fluff Frosting. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Enjoy!!!

Hi Kirstin! looks delish :-) just wondering what the 1/2 cup wet ingredient is?
ReplyDeleteAck! It was butter. I've fixed it. Thanks for catching! It's hard to add 1/2 cup of nothing. ;)
