Steps:
- In electric mixer, beat butter and sugar at high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, baking soda, and salt and beat at medium speed until blended. Add cocoa powder and mix at low speed until incorporated. Add flour and mix at low speed until just combined. Divide dough in half, form into 2 disks, and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove 1 dough disk from refrigerator. On lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3- to 4-inch snowflake cookie cutter, cut out cookies; transfer with spatula to baking sheets. Gather and reroll scraps and cut out additional cookies. Chill cookies 10 minutes.
- Bake until somewhat firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. (Do not overbake or cookies will be bitter.) Cool on pans 2 minutes, then transfer to racks and cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
- To decorate, lay lacy doily on top of cookies and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Put Candy Melts in a microwaveable bowl and melt to the instructions on the bag. After they have been thoroughly, place chocolate in a squeeze bottle and make a snow flake shape on wax paper. If you don't have a squeeze bottle, you can use a spoon to do this. If you want, this is the time to put on the sprinkles. Let cool in fridge until firm.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your snowflakes. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
- Temper Your Chocolate: Tempering your chocolate is an essential step that helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish. You can temper chocolate using a variety of methods, such as the microwave method or the double boiler method.
- Chill Your Dough: Chilling your dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them from becoming too crispy.
- Bake Your Cookies Until They Are Just Set: The snowflakes should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
Conclusion:
Chocolate snowflakes are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create perfect chocolate snowflakes that will impress your friends and family. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a novice, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
