Irresistible No-Roll Chocolate Sugar Cookies: Your New Favorite Soft & Chewy Treat
Are you tired of the endless cycle of rolling, cutting, and re-rolling dough when making sugar cookies? Say goodbye to the fuss with these incredibly easy Chocolate Sugar Cookies! This recipe delivers a batch of soft, chewy chocolate cookies that you simply scoop, bake, and then adorn with a luscious chocolate frosting. It’s homemade cookie perfection without the usual hassle.

One of the true joys of baking is the sheer variety of flavors and textures available in the world of cookies. From timeless classics to festive holiday delights, there’s a cookie for every craving and occasion. We all have our go-to recipes, whether it’s for a quick treat or a special event.
You have beloved staples like small batch chocolate chip cookies, rich small batch peanut butter cookies, and comforting snickerdoodles without cream of tartar.
Then there are the seasonal stars, such as fragrant small batch gingerbread cookies and vibrant red velvet sugar cookies. Each brings its own unique charm and flavor profile to the table, making any cookie spread a delightful experience.
However, I firmly believe that no cookie collection is truly complete without the addition of decadent Chocolate Sugar Cookies. They offer that perfect blend of classic sugar cookie sweetness with a deep, rich chocolate twist that’s simply irresistible. These cookies are a must-have for any chocolate lover!
While I adore the taste and aesthetic of beautifully decorated cookies – I mean, who doesn’t love a stunning cookie? – I’m personally not the biggest fan of the decorating process itself. Yes, I do have my recipe for chocolate chip cut out cookies, but let’s be honest, the effort can sometimes outweigh the joy.
My enthusiasm often wanes when faced with the repetitive steps of chilling, rolling, cutting, then chilling again, more rolling, more cutting, followed by attempts at intricate decorating with my admittedly subpar art skills, often resulting in sprinkles scattered across the entire kitchen floor. It’s a labor of love, but one that sometimes feels more like labor than love.
That’s precisely why I developed this recipe for chocolate sugar cookies: it allows you to enjoy all the deliciousness of homemade sugar cookies with chocolate, but with significantly less effort. By opting for a scoop-and-bake method, you skip all the tedious rolling and cutting. This means less work for you, less mess in the kitchen, and more precious time dedicated to enjoying those scrumptious cookies!
These chocolate sugar cookies share a delightful softness with my popular pumpkin sugar cookies and bright orange cookies. However, they are specifically crafted for serious chocolate enthusiasts, featuring a rich chocolate batter and crowned with a creamy, dreamy chocolate frosting. Every bite is a celebration of deep cocoa flavor.
These are small-batch chocolate sugar cookies, perfect for when you want a fresh, homemade treat without an overwhelming quantity. They are known for their incredibly soft centers, complemented by perfectly crisp edges and a satisfying, subtle chew. The texture is simply divine, striking that ideal balance between tender and firm.
Don’t just save these for special occasions! They are fantastic for your Christmas cookie platter, impressive to share with friends, or simply the perfect companion for a cozy evening snack while you binge-watch your favorite TV show. Whenever you decide to make them, these cookies are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
