How to Make Crispy Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar and mix until combined.
  3. Beat in 2 tablespoons honey, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. In a shallow dish, place ½ cup granulated sugar. Using two spoons, scoop a small amount of dough onto one spoon. Gently press the dough into the sugar, coating it completely. Use the second spoon to slide the sugared dough onto the prepared baking sheet, sugar-side up.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes for softer cookies, or 12-15 minutes for extra crispy cookies. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
