Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Decorations
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
- Add the egg and continue beating until fully incorporated.
- In the same bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix with a rubber spatula or your hands until you form a smooth and uniform dough.
- Shape the dough into a rectangular block, wrap it in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Remove the dough from the freezer and roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick, dusting lightly with flour if needed.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies or slice into squares if not using a cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Chill the cookies in the freezer for 5 minutes to help them hold their shape while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate (in a microwave in short 30 second intervals or use a double boiler).
- Decorate the cookies with the melted chocolate using a piping bag or spoon.
- Add sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still wet.
Notes
- When baking cookies, it's always important to use room-temperature ingredients. If the butter is too cold it won't mix with the sugar well, and if the butter is too warm, it will spread when baked.
- Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough and dry cookies.
- Lightly flour the surface and rolling pin to avoid the dough from sticking.
- Roll the dough with the same thickness so they bake evenly.
- Don't rush the freezing time; this is an important step so that the cookies will hold their shape in the oven.
- I always recommend that you line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat this helps your cookies bake evenly.
