Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 0.5 cup holiday sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks using a spatula. If using holiday sprinkles, gently fold them in as well.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for chewy cookies.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve your Dodo Chocolate Holiday Cookies with a tall glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
