Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 units Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Coarse sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll it into balls. Then, roll each dough ball in the coarse sugar to coat it evenly.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Ultimate Chocolate Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
