Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 ½ cups sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

  3. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Sugar Cookies

✔️ Want a deeper chocolate flavor? Use dark cocoa powder for a richer taste.
✔️ For extra chewiness, don’t overbake—take them out when the centers still look slightly underdone.
✔️ Dress them up! Drizzle with melted chocolate or add a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
