Chocolate Sugar Cookies
The cookies I love always have a crunch. They may have a chewy center, but there has to be a crunch. These Chocolate Sugar Cookies have a thin crusty edge, crunchy sugar on top and a chewy center ...... M...M.M..
Ingredients
- 2 ounces all-purpose flour
- 1/2 ounce cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 3 ounces dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 egg
- 1/2 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in microwave or on the stove and allow it to cool.
- Add brown sugar and vanilla extract to the melted butter and mix until smooth.
- Add 1/4 egg and 1/2 egg yolk and mix.
- Add flour mixture and mix until combined. (NOTE 1)
- With 2 spoons or a small ice cream/cookie scoop and form 6 balls. (NOTE 2)
- Place the dough balls directly on a plate or baking sheet with the granulated sugar.
- Form dough ball in your hands and roll the ball in the sugar until all sides are covered.
- Place the sugar-covered dough ball onto the parchment paper. Flatten cookies to about 2 inches and place them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the cookies with a little bit of sugar that you have left and place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for about 15 minutes and rotate the baking sheet half way through the baking time.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet from about 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- This dough is very sticky, so you can place the dough in the fridge to stiffen up a little, or you can try to work fast.
- I used a cookie/ice cream scoop with a diameter of 1.6 inch/4 cm
