Chocolate sugar cookies aren’t on the decadent, gooey, indulgent end of the chocolate spectrum. They’re simple, satisfying, and slightly old-fashioned.
Chocolate sugar cookies are firm with just a bit of give – the addition of baking powder giving them a subtle cakiness. Adam describes them as “chocolate pudding in a biscuit.”
Because they keep their shape so well, chocolate sugar cookies make excellent filled biscuits – or little ice cream sandwiches.
Chocolate sugar cookies
(makes about 3 dozen smallish cookies)
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1¼ cups caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 2½ cups plain flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the dough until combined.
- Form the dough into a flat disc and chill for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough to a ½cm thickness. Cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter, and arrange on baking sheets lined with baking parchment.
- Bake for about ten minutes, or until firm and a bit puffy. Cool on a wire rack.
