Do I have to use a stand mixer to make Chocolate Sugar Cookies?
You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer. It is important that you use one of these, as the cream cheese and butter in the dough need to be whipped for the best texture.
Why do I need to use corn syrup?
The corn syrup helps to keep the cookies chewy, but if you don’t like corn syrup, you can omit it.
Do I have to refrigerate the dough?
No. The refrigeration process allows the dough to firm up enough to cut cookies with cookie cutters. If you like simple, round cookies, you can skip the refrigeration and roll the cookies into 1 inch dough balls and bake them right away. You can also roll those dough balls in granulated sugar for that sweet, sugar crystal effect.
