    Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookie

    No spread sugar cookies might seem like magic but really the key is using corn starch and chilling the dough. I'm not the best at piping royal icing and I don't much cake for the taste and I just don't have the time to mix up various batches for each color and edging verses flooding etc. SO my solution is a quick dip in some melted chocolate and a sprinkle of crushed peppermint. I love crushed peppermint this time of year, so festive and fresh but if you're not a fan then just skip it or substitute for some toasted chopped pecans cacao nibs or anything else you fancy!

    Dipped Cookie

    I wanted the simplest shape possible but of course sugar cookies are meant to be cut into every holiday shape imaginable. Around this time of year whenever I mix up a batch of cookie dough I make sure to double or triple the recipe and freeze a few disks for later. Always feels good to have some cookies ready to pop into the oven! If you’re really short on time you can give these cookies a quick drizzle of chocolate and call it a day; they’ll look great and will dry quicker.

    If you’ve tried these chocolate dipped sugar cookies then don’t forget to rate the recipe and let me know how you got on in the comments below, I love hearing from you!
