North Pole Coal Cookies + Printable Cookie Labels
Kids would normally prefer to avoid coal during the holidays, but these double chocolate coal cookies are too sweet to pass up! You'll definitely want to add these to your holiday baking list!
These double chocolate cookies are one of my favorites to make. I highly recommend using Hershey's special dark baking cocoa for a deliciously dark cookie. I use this recipe as a base for so many cookies like my hot cocoa cookies, my grasshopper mint cookies, and Reese's chocolate peanut butter cookies.
Perfectly packaged in white scalloped treat boxes with a free North Pole Cookie Co. label they would be so fun to give as gifts this holiday season. Who doesn't love cookies---especially in cute packaging?
These labels are a free download (at the bottom of the post) and all you need to do is cut them out and attach them to a cookie box or bag!
North Pole Coal Cookies Ingredients
(scroll down for a printable version)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter
- ½ cup cocoa powder (Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder is my favorite)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
How To Make Chocolate Coal Cookies
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Combine melted butter and cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
Step 2: Cream brown sugar and white sugar with the butter/cocoa mixture.
Step 3: Add eggs and vanilla.
Step 4: Stir in salt, baking soda, and flour.
Step 5: Mix in chocolate chips.
Step 6: Chill dough for 1 hour.
Step 7: Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
This recipe makes 2 ½ dozen cookies. Because they are so soft and chewy, I recommend storing them in a container in a single row or two, not stacking them in a cookie jar.
I ordered these scalloped treat boxes from Oriental Trading a few years ago and used them for my white chocolate peanut butter truffles. They also make adorable cookie boxes which were perfect for our North Pole coal cookies! I created a printable cookie label to tape to the top of each box.
Did you know that Santa wasn't associated with the North Pole until an image appeared in Harper's Weekly? So I can only assume that the North Pole Cookie Co. originated at the same time to keep up with Santa's hearty cookie appetite. 😉
