Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the milk to create a soft dough.
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
Divide the dough into small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and shape them into elongated oval or horse-like shapes. You can use small cookie cutters or sculpt them manually if you'd like.
Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these retro treats with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee!
