Cut Out Chocolate Cookies
Bake this fun Cutout Chocolate Cookies recipe with your kids! The creative possibilities are endless, and these simple chocolate cookies are absolutely delicious. Start by baking cookies with rich HERSHEY'S Cocoa. Then, instead of scooping the cookie dough as you regularly would, cut out your desired shapes — think gingerbread shapes for the holidays, ice cream cone shapes for summertime or even alphabet shapes to spell out names — before baking. Finish your Cutout Chocolate Cookies with sprinkles, candy, vanilla glaze, chocolate frosting or whatever your tastebuds desire. And for a peanut butter twist on this recipe, try these Chocolate Drizzled Peanut Butter Cut-Out Cookies.
