Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Yield: 16 cookies
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room
temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons milk
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
Toss
the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set
aside.
Using
a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high
speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the
bowl as needed.
Switch
the mixer to medium speed and beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar
until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides
and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Turn
the mixer off and pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Turn
the mixer on low and slowly beat until a very soft dough is formed.
Beat
in the milk on medium speed. The dough will be very sticky.
Cover
the dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 1
hour.
Remove
the cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for
10 minutes so it is not rock hard.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or
silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Scoop
1.5 Tablespoons of dough, mold into a ball, and roll into the confectioners’
sugar.
Repeat
for each cookie.
Place
8 balls onto each baking sheet. Bake each batch for 10-12 minutes.
Remove
from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before
transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
