How to Make Cocoa Molasses Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add ½ cup molasses and 1 large egg, beating until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons baking powder and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, drizzle with vanilla glaze.
- For the vanilla glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until desired consistency is reached.
