Chocolate Sugar Cookies

These chocolate sugar cookies are soft, rich, and chewy, and the best part is that they are so easy to make. Just mix, coat in sugar, drop, and bake!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder, optional
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add softened butter, 1 cup of the sugar, and instant coffee. Cream the butter, sugar, and coffee on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla. Continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes to combine well.
  5. Add the flour mixture gradually, mixing until just combined and no flour streak remains.
  6. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar into a small bowl.
  7. Using a 1.5 tablespoon-size spring loaded cookie scoop, scoop 9 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently roll into even balls, then coat each in the sugar.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies puff in the middle and set around the edges. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Storage: I recommend storing these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days!
