Chocolate Butter Cookies
Report
Chocolate Butter Cookies, rich and buttery, with an intense chocolate flavour and a crisp texture that make them ideal for the holiday season, but also all year round as a last-minute treat. They are easy to make with only 5 basic ingredients, and very little prep. No fancy equipment needed either, roll them into a ball and flatten them slightly with a fork, and you get some indulgent cookies that are a big hit with everyone.

Ingredients
- 170 g plain flour ( 1 ½ cup)
- 30 g cocoa powder ( 2 tbso)
- 80 g icing sugar ( confectioners' sugar, ½ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 g butter ( ⅔ cup)
Instructions
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour, cocoa powder and icing sugar, and mix them well.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and knead everything into a dough that does not stick to the hands.
- Cover the dough in clingfilm and refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius ( 350 Fahrenheit, 160 fan oven).
- Use your hands to roll out dough balls the size of a walnut, and use a fork dipped in flour to flatten the dough balls slightly.
- Arrange the cookies onto 2 baking trays lined with non-stick paper, and bake them for 17 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool down slightly before transfering to a cooling rack to cool down completely.
Notes
- After melting the butter, it is important to allow it to cool down, otherwise the dough will be warm and it will take longer for it to get a good texture, so the chilling time will have to be extended.
- A warm dough will also make the cookies spread too much in the oven, and you will end up with flat cookies- they will still taste great though!
- You don't have to flatten them with the fork, they can be left as a ball, and they will spread to the right shape while baking - so plenty of room between the cookie balls is important.
- If the fork sticks to the dough balls as you try to flatten them, dip the fork in flour, that should really do the trick.
