Ingredients

Cookies
  • ½ cup Butter, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Icing
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, or a silicone mat and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light. Scrape the sides down frequently.
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Once incorporated add the baking powder and salt.
  4. Slowly mix in the flour on low speed. The dough will be thick.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat for 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Add the melted chocolate to the cookie dough and mix.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes for smaller cookies and 9-11 minutes for larger cookies. Do not overcook. The top should be dry to the touch, but soft and moist in the middle.
Icing
    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a medium saucepan stir the butter, cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat. Whisk until the butter is melted and the ingredients are combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar.
  2. Once the cookies have been baked DO NOT remove them from the pan.
  3. Use a spoon to cover each hot cookie with the icing. The cookies will get good and chocolatey! Allow the icing to set.
  4. Once set and the cookies have cooled, carefully remove the cookies from the pan.

Notes

  • Store the cookie dough covered with plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours, or freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. See this post on How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips. 
  • Store the cookies at room temperature for 3 days. Separate layers with parchment paper. To freeze, use a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
