Chocolate Sugar Cookies
These delicious, rich chocolate sugar cookies are crunchy yet a bit chewy in the center.
Ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 cups unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add 2 cups of unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and mix until combined. Then, turn the mixer on high and beat until fluffy.
- Stir in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the dry ingredients in: 5 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix on low until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough between parchment paper and plastic wrap until it is 1/4 inch thick. This should fill up 1 1/2 cookie sheets.
- Place in the fridge and chill for 1-3 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the cold dough on a light metal cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I use the same paper I rolled the dough out on) and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove and immediately cut with cookie cutters.
- Allow the house to fully cool before removing.
