Categories     Cookies

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 7

140 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour ((dip and sweep)*)
50 g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
150 g (2/3 cup) unsalted butter
175 g (1/2 cup and 1/3 cup) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(177C°). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Put the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat until it is halfway melted. Take it from the heat and stir until it is all melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the sugar in a big bowl and add the butter, mix well. Then add in the egg and vanilla, stir until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and stir until all combined well.
  • Roll the dough into 52-53 gram (2 and ½ tablespoon) balls and place them on the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can divide the dough equally into 10 pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • Bake for 8-11 minutes or until the cookies are slightly set. The top of the cookies shouldn't be wet but soft. They will be too soft to handle. Remove the cookies from the oven so that they can keep their moistness. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are firm enough. The cookies will be a little bit puffy. You can slightly press the cookies with the back of a spoon.

AUNT SALLY'S COCOA DROPS



Aunt Sally's Cocoa Drops image

My mother used to make these cookies, they are my all time favorite. She usually frosted them with a white icing. I made them for my children but they usually didn't last long enough to get frosted. Now I make them for my 14 month old granddaughter. They are so soft and so good! I usually double the recipe.

Tips:

  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft. This will give you soft and chewy cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to keep their shape.
