For every cookie swap I have ever been to, I make the Baker's Chocolate Sugar Cookies (although this year I plan to try something new...) and they are always much loved. It is a simple recipe to make in large batches and I have never heard any complaints. I mean this is something made of primarily sugar and chocolate, so really how could there be discontent?
If you have to bring a baked good somewhere this holiday season.....

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

4 squares BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate

1 cup butter or margarine

1-1/2 cups sugar, divided

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

MIX flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add 1 cup sugar, egg and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Refrigerate 15 min. or until dough is easy to handle.
HEAT oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in remaining sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets.
BAKE 8 to 10 min. or until centers are set. Cool on baking sheets 1 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
