Chocolate Christmas Cookies Ingredient List
- Chocolate: I recommend using a 70% dark chocolate baking bar for this recipe.
- Butter: unsalted butter that we will add to the chocolate to melt.
- Eggs: 2 eggs, room temperature ideally.
- Sugar: we’ll be using white sugar and brown sugar for the cookie batter as well as powdered sugar as the topping.
- Flour: white all-purpose flour.
Expert Tips
- Use an electric mixer or stand mixer. This way, it will be easier to incorporate the eggs with the sugar.
- Make sure you let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help with the texture and shaping the dough into balls.
- Roll each ball into powdered sugar. Place the powdered sugar in a small plate or bowl. I suggest you 3-4 balls at the time and dip each one in the sugar before baking.
Conservation
Simply place in an airtight container on the counter at room temperature for up to 3 days. Sprinkle more powdered sugar on the cookies if needed.
Can I use Chocolate Chips instead of Baking Chocolate Bar?
This recipe was developed using a 70% dark chocolate baking bar cut into chunks. You can also use chocolate chips, but make sure you choose quality chocolate since it’s the base of the cookies.

Instructions
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate with butter. Simply microwave for 20-30 seconds, mix and repeat until the chocolate is melted. You can also melt the chocolate into a small saucepan over low heat.
- In a big bowl using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs with the white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes. Pour the melted chocolate and whisk again until you get a homogeneous texture.
- Mix the flour with baking powder and salt in a small bowl. With a spatula, incorporate the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Place the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and place the grill in the middle. Place parchment paper into a big baking pan. Add powdered sugar into a small plate or bowl.
