Chocolate Cut Out Cookie Recipe

by verycherrycakes

Hello friends! At the beginning of my cookie baking journey I had a very hard time finding the right recipe that would work for me. So after many many horrible batches and cookies that spread to the point the shape was unrecognizable, I created the perfect recipe for me.

Now please keep in mind the consistency of this recipe is more like a shortbread rather than a traditional cookie. And also remember that this recipe is not for everyone. So here it is.

Decadent chocolate roll out cookies. I love to use this recipe to decorate royal icing cookies, you can also use this recipe to simply cut out cookies, bake and eat un-frosted!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 C granulated sugar

  • 1 C (2 sticks) unsalted butter

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 3 1/2 C all purpose flour

  • 1/4 C Hershey’s Dark Cocoa Powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions

  • Place all of these ingredients into your mixing bowl and mix for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and grainy
  • whisk all these ingredients in a bowl and then add them to the butter mixture. Make sure to mix the dough for approximately 5-7 minutes until all the ingredients come together and the batter doesn’t stick to your mixing bowl.
  • You can use your dough immediately, or you can also store it for later use.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
  • To roll out the cookies place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface, sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Use wooden guides to help you roll out your cookies evenly. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top of your cookie dough, and begin to roll until your dough reaches the desired thickness.
  • To remove the cookies, dip an offset spatula into some powdered sugar and gently wiggle the spatula under the cookie. Transfer the cookies onto a prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake your cookies for 12 minutes to get soft cookies or 15 minutes for crispy edges and soft insides.
