Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat again until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
With lightly floured hands, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per treat, roll it into a ball, and slightly flatten it to resemble a mini pillow shape.
Arrange the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once fully cooled, lightly dust the tops of the chocolate pillow fluffs with powdered sugar for a delicate touch.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
