I Dream In Chocolate: Chocolate Butter Cookies

In case you haven't noticed,

I'm sort of in love with chocolate. Seriously.

I think I may even DREAM in chocolate sometimes!

Well, I know I Day-Dream in chocolate :)

The other day when I made these SUPER YUMMY

Butter Cookies from Texas Cottage

My first thought was....  

"I wonder how these would taste in Chocolate?"

I'm here to report back

THEY TASTE AWESOME IN CHOCOLATE!

 

 May I Present...

Chocolate Butter Cookies!

I used the same recipe from Sallie's Texas Cottage site,

And just swapped out the Yellow Cake Mix for Chocolate Cake Mix

Butter Cookies

4 sticks (2 cups) butter, softened (not margarine)

1 box CHOCOLATE cake mix

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

decorating sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Let butter come to room temperature. Place all ingredients in a large bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low until well blended. If the mixer is not heavy-duty, finish mixing by hand.

Fill a cookie press with cookie dough and press out on an ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart.

Sprinkle with decorating sugar, if desired. 

(We decorated ours with Ornaments -aka MnM's!) 

Bake at 350 degrees F 8 to 10 minutes until very lightly browned on edges. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to paper towels or wire racks to finish cooling.

Don't be afraid to DREAM IN CHOCOLATE!
