American · Dessert · 32 min total

A classic butter cookie topped with a rich chocolate icing, perfect for holiday baking or an everyday treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass or fork.
5. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
6. For icing: In a medium bowl, whisk powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Dip tops of cooled cookies into icing, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire rack to set.

Tips

• For a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar; for thinner, add more milk.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• Decorate with sprinkles before icing sets if desired.
