Chocolate Roll Out Cookies Recipe

Chocolate roll-out cookies have always been one of my favorites. I like a chocolate roll-out cookie that reminds me of a brownie. I didn’t want a thick and gooey cookie, just one with a little more of a brownie flavor. When trying to find that perfect brownie-like recipe I found myself disappointed. There are a lot of good recipes out there so if you have one you like, stick with it!

Sometimes you just need to get in the kitchen and start experimenting which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the past few weeks. It finally paid off because these little chocolate roll-out cookies are exactly what I’ve been looking for. I hope you like them as much as I do.

Chocolate Roll Out Cookies Recipe | The Bearfoot BakerThe thing about these chocolate roll-out cookies are they don’t spread when you bake them. Even if you re-roll the dough several times, the cookies maintain their shape when baked. One other thing I want to let you know is when you transfer them onto the baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper, they are a little delicate. You may want to roll them out a little thicker than a 1/2″ but that thickness seems to work for me so I stuck with it.

Oven times may vary so watch them closely. Let them cool before decorating.
