Chocolate Drizzle Sugar Cookies
Not only are these beautiful, they’re also delicious. Sometimes “pretty” cookies can be really intimidating, especially to new bakers. However, this recipe is so easy to make.
I love to bake cookies around the holidays because they are easy to transport and aren't very time consuming to make.
I use dark chocolate in this recipe because the bitterness pairs really well with the buttery flavor of the cookies.
Enjoy!
