These easy Holiday Chocolate Swirl Sugar Cookies will make a sweet addition to your holiday cookie plate. We love slice-and-bake cookies because you can make a large batch with minimal effort. On top of that, this particular chocolate swirl cookies recipe only calls for three simple ingredients. Before you know it, you’ll have cookies with a beautifully marbled look that makes them almost too pretty to eat. Almost. We think you’ll find that these scrumptious, sugary delights taste just as good as they look!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Divide cookie dough in half. In medium bowl, place half of the cookie dough. Crumble cookie dough; stir or knead in flour until well mixed. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) In another medium bowl, place remaining half of cookie dough. Crumble cookie dough; stir or knead in cocoa until well mixed.
  • Step 
    2
    Divide each of the doughs in half. Take one half of each of the sugar and cocoa cookie doughs, and press together into a ball. Gently knead to mix doughs (don’t overwork dough or it will lose marbling). Press combined doughs back into a ball.
  • Step 
    3
    Shape into a roll, 6 inches long by 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap dough log tightly with plastic wrap. Repeat forming, shaping and rolling with remaining dough pieces. Refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Step 
    4
    Heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet, reshaping if necessary.
  • Step 
    5
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Unwrap remaining dough log, and repeat slicing and baking. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
