3 Ingredient Butter Cookies for New Year's Eve Dessert

How to Make Quick Chocolate Glaze New Year’s Eve Cookies

As I have already mentioned, my cookie recipe is simple to make and bake. These 3 ingredients cookies get ready for serving in less than an hour. 

Here’s how to make them:

Step One:

To make glazed chocolate cookies, combine butter and powdered sugar together in a mixer. Beat them until smooth. Slowly add flour to the same mixer. Give a thorough mix of all the ingredients until they combine well.

Step Two:

After forming a large dough ball, apply powdered sugar on the surface and on the roller. Carefully roll the cookie dough into thick slabs. Following this, use a cookie cutter to give ideal shapes to your New Year’s Eve sugar cookies.

Step Three:

Once your cookies are all ready, prepare the tray for baking. Place parchment paper on the baking tray and put the cookies on it. Let the cookies bake for 17 minutes in a preheated oven.

If your cookies are not done, let them stay in the oven for a little more time. Once their edges turn golden, remove them from the oven.

Let cookies cool for some time before serving. These cookies for New Year’s Eve can either be served as it is, or you can decorate them with sprinkles and glaze.

Step Four:

To make a cookie glaze, you need to mix cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a bowl. Once combined, add one tablespoon of water and vanilla extract into it. Add more water if needed for the right consistency.

Dip half of the cookies into the glaze and add sprinkles on the top for that festive vibe. Carefully place the cookies on white paper and allow them to dry well. After the chocolate glaze is all dried, serve them to your guests.

Expert Key Tips: 

  • An easy alternative to chocolate glaze is cream cheese frosting. It gives an extra flavor to the cookies, making them more delicious. You can add any fruit extract for a fun variation to your cookies.
  • Besides frosting, icing the New Year’s cookies also makes them yummy.
  • If you don’t have cookie cutters, a champagne bottle will also do the trick. Or you can use something similar to shape the cookies into ideal types.

How to store New Year’s butter cookies? 

If you have made a large batch of New Year’s simple chocolate glaze cookies, store them in an airtight container.

Likewise, you can also store cookie dough to prepare the cookies later. For this, transfer the cookies to a container. The dough will stay fresh for up to 48 hours.
