Description
These Chocolate Sugar Cookies are delightfully sweet and chocolatey! Plus they are perfectly soft in the middle – they almost melt in your mouth!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups of plain flour
- 1/2 cup of cocoa
- 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, stir to combine and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar in mixer until it is light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixture (change attachments to dough hooks if necessary).
- Mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated then shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Remove dough from fridge and work it between your hands for a couple of minutes to soften it slightly.
- Place the dough between two pieces of baking paper and roll it out to your desired thickness (mine were just under 1 cm thick – bit more than ¼ inch).
- Cut into shapes and then bake on a baking paper lined tray for 8 to 10 minutes (when done the cookies will look firm around the outside and a little puffy in the middle).
- Remove from oven and cool on tray.
