These are Kait's absolutely favorite cookies… so much so that she makes them year round, not just during the holidays. Since they are one of her go-to's when baking cookies, we thought they were the perfect way to kick off our 25 Days of Cookies bake-a-thon! We have used several different recipes to bake these over the years, but Williams-Sonoma's recipe is the one we keep coming back to. Here is a look at how our cookies turned out:Yield: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powder sugar
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coca powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder & salt
- Spray your cookie sheets with cooking spray
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, add butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until creamy (about 3 minutes)
- Turn off and scrape down the sides of the bowl (our favorite tool to do this is the Chef'n Mixer Spatula)
- Add one of the eggs and beat on medium until blended, then add the other egg and vanilla and continue to beat on medium until blended
- Turn off the mixer, scrape down the sides again, if necessary, and then gradually add the flour mixture. Beat on low until the dough is just blended
- Put the powder sugar in a medium bowl
- Spray your cookie sheets with non-stick spray
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and use your hands to form into a ball
- Roll the dough in the powder sugar until covered
- Place the prepared cookie dough on your cookie sheets approximately 2" apart
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be crackled and puffed
- Leave the cookies on the sheet to cool for about 10 minutes
- Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and onto a wire rack to continue cooling
