cookie sticks drizzled with chocolate
Chocolate Drizzled Christmas Cookie Sticks are perfect for dunking in your hot cocoa or coffee. An easy Christmas cookie recipe that everyone loves.

These Chocolate Drizzle Christmas Cookie Sticks are pretty and festive, and they are so easy to make!

When the holidays roll around, I can’t wait to start baking up yummy treats like these cookie sticks, M&M Chocolate Cookies, and Dipped Gingersnaps!

I’ve posted dozens of cookie recipes, but this is the very first time I have ever made any type of cookie sticks. My goodness, I have sure been missing out. I couldn’t believe how easy these were to prepare, and how fabulous they taste!

How to make Christmas Cookie Sticks drizzled with chocolate. A perfect Christmas cookie recipe.

They start with a simple chocolate chip cookie dough. But the magic happens when you roll them out and cut them into little strips. I used a dough scraper, and it worked perfectly.

After they are cut, just place them on cookie sheets. I always line mine with silicone pan liners because it makes clean up so much easier.

Tips for making cookie sticks:

-Some people have said the dough is too dry. You MUST use butter that is almost melted, or your dough will be too stiff.

-You can use less flour if you prefer, but then the cookie sticks spread more and don’t look as pretty. 

-Mini chocolate chips work best for this recipe. If all you have is regular chocolate chips, I recommend chopping them up.

How to make cookie strips

These little guys are pretty tasty straight outta the oven. They are even prettier and tastier drizzled with a little chocolate. But add two layers of drizzled chocolate and some sprinkles, and they are downright fabulous!

These chocolate drizzled cookie sticks would look so pretty on a Christmas cookie tray. They are just so festive. And of course with chocolate chips and two kinds of drizzle, they are absolutely delicious!

And of course, they are the perfect shape for dunking. For an extra special treat, you can dip them into hot cocoa. So yummy!

Chocolate Drizzled Christmas Cookie Sticks

Easy Christmas Cookie Sticks

Chocolate Drizzled Christmas Cookie Sticks - the perfect Christmas cookie recipe. An easy cookie recipe that looks and tastes fantastic!

Festive chocolate chip cookie sticks with chocolate drizzle and Christmas sprinkles.

Prep Time 50 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup butter, very soft (almost melted)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (or use more vanilla)
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Cover dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle shape that is about 1/4" thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips that are about 1" by 4".
  3. Place strips on parchment lined cookie sheets and bake at 375° for about 8-10 minutes or till lightly browned on the bottom edges. Let sit on pans for a couple minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
  4. Cool cookies completely. Melt each of the chips in a ziplock bag in the microwave at half power. Snip the corner and drizzle over the tops of the cookies. Add sprinkles.

Notes

-Your butter must be almost melted, or the dough will be too stiff. You must also make sure to use a large egg, and don't emit the extracts. You can use only 2 3/4 cups of flour for a softer dough, but the cookie sticks will not hold their shape as well.

-It works best to drizzle a few cookies at a time so that you can add the sprinkles before the chocolate sets up.

    Love how these turned out. To get the almost melted butter I put the mixing bowl in a pan with water and was able to control the level of softness of my butter. As soon as it got to that really soft “almost melted” point I pulled the bowl off the heat and mixed in the sugar. The dough was crumbly but I had no problem smooshing it back together after cutting. Had one problem and that was when I microwaved the white chocolate chips it came out chunky and didn’t drizzle well at all. Much better melting on the stove top.

    I made these last year and plan on making them again this year. I have a hint to share that makes rolling these to a uniform thickness a breeze. After chilling the dough I put the dough in an oversize zip-lock bag[didn’t use any flour], smoothed the dough with my hand before using a rolling pin to roll it out to a uniform thickness within the confines of the bag.I slit the sides of the bag and used a chefs scraper/chopper to cut the strips.Easy Peezey.

    Made these las year (see comment) and they were a big hit. They even froze well with the chocolate. drizzle. The twins that visit each year have requested again. They dipped them in hot chocolate and thought that was fun too! I have the ings. ready to make again and will look through your recipes for something else as well. Thanks for sharing.

    What a fun recipe! I chilled the dough for an hour and a half and it rolled out like a dream! I have 8 year old twins coming for a visit after school tomorrow and they will love their special sticks!! Sorry I can’t send a photo but they look so good.

    These cookies came just like the pictures…they were easy to make, just a lot of steps. Dough was easy to work with, I think the key was the almost melted butter. They are a great add to my Christmas cookie collection.

      I haven’t frozen them, but I think that as long as you freeze them before drizzling them with chocolate, they should be fine.

    Loved these cookies it was a bit of a challenge but patience won over. I took only about 1/3 of the dough at a time slowly rolled them out used a ruler as a guide and cut along the edge of it and they cut perfectly. I got quite a few more than supposed to but guess they are thinner .

    I don’t understand the problem that some have had with this recipe. My dough was easy to work with. The cookies were flavorful, with Vanilla and Almond, both present notes. Chocolate chips are present in many bar type cookies, they cut quite easily. The cookies are also very pretty and tasty as baked and decorated. I make more than 25 different, widely loved cookies in my Christmas cookie tray, and these has been well received.

    Made these last week with Dominican Republic’s Delifruit Vanilla Blanca. Its a very distinctly strong vanilla flavour. Hubby loved them, but preferred them without the drizzle and sprinkles. Making more now.

    This recipe is terrible. I had to throw everything away. Gross. Super dry and crumbled would not even form into a dough. Please don’t waste money and time on this lady got ratios wrong or something. Definitely too much flour!

      I agree with Claire and Kristan. Used less flour, about 2 1/2 c., still dry and pretty tasteless, considering all the flavoring. Could not roll the chilled dough. Had to bring it back almost to room temp. And chop it out of the bowl. It is hard to cut straight because the mini chips get in the way. Difficult dough to work with. Will not make again. Not worth the considerable amount of putzing involved. One star.

      So sorry they didn’t turn out well for you, I have never had that problem. My guess is that your butter wasn’t soft enough. It should be almost melted, or the dough will be too stiff. You can add less flour, but then they spread more when baking and I don’t think they turn out as pretty.
