Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies
GUYS AND GALS! Today is the first day of my 12 days of cookies and I'm sharing my drop chocolate sugar cookies. I may be taking a break here and there for other posts, but I promise I won't be stopping until all 12 days are completely. These cookies are the perfect sugar cookies. Do you know why? They don't need frosting, you can just spoon the cookie dough out, and they have chocolate in them. Those are all wins in my book!

The festive sprinkles put the finishing touches on the cookies. I'm kind of a huge fan of sprinkles. It's super ridiculous on fluffy sugar cookies. I'll load those cookies with a ton of frosting and even more sprinkles. Not the nonpareil sprinkles, because I have too many things that want to go wrong with my teeth, but the soft sprinkles and sugars. Yep, I'm a sugar fiend with bad teeth. Who would have thought? The kicker is I have no dental insurance. Mehhhh. That's life, I suppose.
