Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 230 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each), roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Easy Chocolate Buttery Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
