I have plans for these cookies. Yes, the plans involve decorating. But for now, they are just delicious cookies chillin' in the freezer. I am sure they are anticipating the gorgeousness that is sure to befall them!
These cookies lived up to their name on Allrecipes.com: Best Ever Chocolate Cutout Cookies. They rolled out really well, didn't expand too much in the oven. And best of all, they have a great non-overpowering chocolate flavor. I will definitely keep you posted on the decorating. But for now, have an excellent chocolate cookie that stands well on its own!
Chocolate Cutout Cookies
Allrecipes.com
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg. Gradually stir int he sifted ingredients to form a soft dough. Divide dough into 2 pieces, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Dough is sticky so be sure to add more flour to the surface as needed. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
