How to Make Chocolate Cut Out Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 large egg yolk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. (Watch closely as baking times may vary).
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
