    Chocolate Dipped Icebox Cookies

    Hi there! It's Fiona from Just So Tasty, and today I'm stopping in to share these chocolate dipped icebox cookies.

    It's a super simple sugar cookie recipe that's soft, buttery & dipped in chocolate.

    These easy chocolate dipped icebox cookies are the perfect make-ahead recipe for the holidays. Soft, buttery, dipped in chocolate & decorated with sprinkles.

    They're perfect for Christmas and super easy to make, since it's a slice and bake recipe.

    Now, I absolutely love spending time in the kitchen. And I love making sugar cookies. But it's often hard to find the time during the holidays.

    With Christmas parties, concerts, gifts to buy, presents to wrap, etc - it can be hard to find the time for holiday baking.

    Which is exactly why I wanted to share these icebox cookies.

    It's the perfect cookie recipe for making ahead of time - so you can whip up the dough before the craziness of of the holiday starts, freeze it, then have fresh cookies just in time for Santa.

    How to Make Icebox Cookies

    To get started, we first mix together butter and sugar until it's fluffy.

    Then mix in one egg and a little vanilla and almond extract. The almond extract is option - but I find it adds so much flavor.

    Then we mix in the dry ingredients, and our cookie dough is done.

    The cookie dough then gets formed into one big log shape and wrapped in wax paper. You can either chill the dough in the fridge for 2 hours or up to 4 days.

    OR, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. If you're freezing the dough, you'll thaw it in the fridge overnight the day before you want to bake the cookies.

    Then when you're ready for cookies, slice the log into round discs and bake. Finally the cookies are dipped in a little chocolate and showered with sprinkles.
