Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are puffed up.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these old-fashioned chocolate jumbles with family and friends!
