Soft Chocolate Sugar Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it's ready.
• Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined after each addition.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined. It will be thick. Do not over mix. Once it's well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
• Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Set the balls on the baking sheet. Press down on the tops of the balls just a bit (I used the bottom of a glass)
• Bake cookies for 7-8 minutes. Don't overbake. The cookies will be a little puffy when you take them out of the oven but will fall a bit as they cool.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
