Equipment
- Mixer
- Spatula
- Cookie cutters
- Clear plastic food wrap
- Backing paper
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees C.
- In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, softened butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until combined.
- Add the flour one cup at a time, while mixing and allowing it to be combined each time.
- The dough will be fluffy and soft. Wrap it in clear plastic wrap and shape it into a ball with the wrap's help. Put the dough wrapped up into the freezer for half an hour or until the dough can be worked with.
- Take the dough out. To roll it out, line your surface with plastic wrap and cocoa powder. Another way would be to roll the dough out directly onto baking paper-lined sheets. Roll it out to be about 1/2 cm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out your cookies.
- Put the cookies onto the baking paper-lined sheet and put it into the oven. Bake for about 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cookies. They will be soft to the touch when taking them out, but don't overbake them.
- Get them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Place them onto a cooling rack until they are completely cooled down. You can store them in an air-tied container and decorate them with icing.
