- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 6 1-ounce squares bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 splash milk, if needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gradually add the chocolate to the butter mixture, beating until combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Gradually add to the sugar mixture, beating until combined. Divide the dough in half. Press each half into a 10-inch disk, wrap in heavy-duty plastic wrap, and chill 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch flower shaped cutter, cut out the dough. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.

Sprinkle with sprinkles or sanding sugar, if desired.
