These drop chocolate sugar cookies are not only simple, and they look fantastic!

With a great firm outside coating and a chewy interior, these cookies will not only win you over when it’s holiday baking season but all year long.

How do you make drop cookies?

With a few simple steps, you’ll be enjoying cookies very quickly.

Drop cookies are fairly simple, 

start by creaming the butter and the sugar together (until it’s pale in color and whipped well and the sugar is completely combined.

Then you’ll add in the egg, then the cocoa with the flour, baking soda, vanilla, and salt.

Once it’s mixed well, then the cookie dough is rolled into ball shapes and then into sprinkles.

They are then baked, and as soon as they cool, they are ready to eat.

 

These cookies remind me of Christmas lights…

Christmas Lights

It was all about multi-colored lights over here this Christmas, so it only seemed fitting that I made some cookies with multi-colored

I am all about white lights on the tree, but outside it was all about the COLOR this year.

All the lights and decorations are down and packed away so these will bring some color into the New Year! BAM!!!

Then it’s time to make resolutions or goals for the new year…

try to be more patient,

try to exercise more,

try to stay more organized…

I know where everything is, it’s just messy….mainly paperwork.

I thought computers would reduce paperwork, but I still find myself printing so much,

and tax time is just around the corner and that is all about paperwork!

There are going to be a MUST with all the paperwork and clean up I need to do on my desk.

My desk is like a constant paper dump yard.

I think I’ll be making batches of these until it’s all cleaned up.

It’s not like I don’t clean it up all the time,

      They will freeze well. Wrap them twice, remove air so they taste fresh when you defrost them. In a plastic bag, sealed, then in a plastic container or another plastic bag. Layering cookies with wax paper will help them stay separated in the bag as well.

    Can you make these ahead and do they store well?

      Yes, these cookies will store well, you can keep them on the counter for 3 days, refrigerate them, then bring them to room temperature for best flavor, or wrap and freeze if desired.
