The End-All for Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Prep Time: 20
Cook Time: 20-30
Keywords: bake dessert unsweetened cocoa powder cookie
Ingredients
- 1 cup slightly softened butter (not quite room temperature)
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 or 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
* Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment paper.
* Cream butter, shortening and sugar together.
* Add eggs, vanilla, baking powder and salt and mix well.
* Stir in the cocoa until well blended.
* Add flour. and mix until the flour is completely incorporated and the dough holds together in a ball. IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE COOKIES RIGHT AWAY, ADD 3 1/2 cups flour. If you are going to "chill" the dough, or just wait for another day to make your cookies, STOP AT 3 cups. It will be totally soft and look all wrong, and you will want to ignore me completely and add more flour, but I'm telling you -- DON'T DO IT. Practice self-restraint. You will be glad you did, and I will be proud of you.
* Roll out on lightly floured surface. Bake at 375° F for 7-10 minutes. (I roll my cookies 3/16" thick and bake 3 inch cookies for 7 minutes.)
