Are you a chocolate lover? Do you love soft and chewy cookies? If so, here are some delicious chocolate frosted sugar cookies that are so soft and chewy, and the frosting…. totally creamy and one of my favorite chocolate frostings ever!
This is one recipe that you might want to double from the get-go. Especially if you love chocolate cookies frosted with chocolate frosting with chocolate chips added. Triple chocolate cookies that are to die for.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Biting into one of these cookies, and the fact that they are frosted with a delicious chocolate buttercream frosting and have chocolate chips in every bite, just make for one delicious cookie recipe everyone is going to love.
Chewy Chocolate Cookies
And one of the reasons we love these cookies so much is that they are thick, soft and chewy. Definitely one that everyone will be talking about because of how soft they are. So bring a dozen or two to your next family gathering or get together and you will see exactly what I’m talking about.
How Do You Store These Chocolate Frosted Sugar Cookies
After the cookies have cooled completely, frost each cookie and add candied sprinkles. Let set to harden the frosting a bit and then make sure to store them in an air tight container in the fridge. You can add a layer of waxed paper in between the layers when storing. There might not be any left because they are so delicious, but in case there are, this is how I store ours.
