Servings: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter softened to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 1/3 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup baking cocoa
- 2 tsp baking powder
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-5 Tbsp milk start with 3, add more if needed
- food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Cream butter and sugar for at least 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well for another 2 minutes.
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
- Roll out on a floured surface and cut into shapes. I like soft and thick cookies so I roll out the dough to be about 5/8"-1/4" thick.
- Bake cookies on a cookie sheet for about 8-9 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes on the cookie sheet and then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
