Soft Chocolate Sugar Cookies | Soft Dutch Cocoa Cookies Recipe
:: Cook Me Food ::

These irresistible sugar cookies are soft and full of rich chocolate flavor. They have a slightly fudgy center and a crusted crackly surface with a little crisp around the edges. Deeply chocolatey and ideally indulgent!

You’ll need:
• 1 2/3 cup (207g) all-purpose flour (*see notes below)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp espresso/instant coffee powder (optional but recommended)
• 1/3 cup + ¼ cup (53g) cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed)
• ¾ cup (168g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 ¼ cup (175g) light brown sugar
• 1 medium whole egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• white sugar for coating (about 1/3 cup or 70g)

:: HELPFUL HINTS ::

* Don’t over bake these cookies. When you take them out from the oven, they should still be soft at the center. They will settle as they cool. Let them rest for 1 minute on the baking tray and transfer them in wire rack to finish cooling completely.

* Measure your flour and cocoa powder correctly. Adding too much flour or cocoa powder will result to dry and crumbly cookies when baked. Fluff your flour /cocoa powder with a spoon in the container, spooned it into your measuring cup until full, and use the back of the knife to level it off.

* For a more robust chocolate taste, you can use ground espresso instead of instant ground coffee. Or when using instant ground coffee you can use 1/2 tsp.

Happy baking!

Thanks for watching!
