No Spread 5 - Ingredient Cut Out Chocolate Sugar Cookies
:: Cook Me Food ::
These Chocolate Sugar Cookies are easy to make and perfect for any holiday decorating! They have slightly crisp edges with chewy, rich chocolatey centers! Cut them into festive shapes and dust them with powdered sugar, slather on some homemade frosting or even drizzle them with melted white chocolate.
You’ll need:
• 1 cup (225g) salted butter (at room temperature)
• 1 cup (200g) white sugar
• 1 medium to large egg
• 2 ¾ cup (358g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dutch- processed)
Cool completely. Serve. Enjoy!
:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
* Number of cookies will depend on cut out size and how thick you roll your dough. For thinner cookies, roll out your dough to 1/8" and 1/4" for thicker cookies.
* Bake thinner or smaller cookies for 8-9 minutes.
* Measure your flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result to crumbly texture or sandy taste when baked. Fluff the flour in the container before scooping it out. Lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. Using the back of the dinner knife (non-serrated side is facing the flour), sweep the knife over the top of the cup to remove the excess flour.
* Let your cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are not cool, the icing will melt.
Happy baking!
