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.

HOT COCOA COOKIES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield about 15 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl.

Steps:

  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat until just incorporated. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, dust the dough generously with flour and roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes using 2-to-4-inch cookie cutters and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm; reroll once to cut out more cookies. Refrigerate the cutouts until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the cookies, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until slightly puffed and darker around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Sandwich the cookies with the marshmallow cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: This will ensure that your cookies have a rich, chocolatey flavor. Look for cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" or "natural."
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies to develop a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help the cookies to set and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These soft cocoa cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a dessert to impress your friends, these cookies are sure to please. So next time you have a craving for something chocolatey, give this recipe a try.
